Diversity-Oriented Training

Our FocusDiversity-Oriented Organizational Development

In many work situations, there is uncertainty when dealing with unfamiliar lifestyles, backgrounds, languages, values, or worldviews. Language barriers further complicate collaboration or, in the case of customers, make service provision more complex and unfamiliar.

The development of intercultural and diversity-oriented competencies therefore includes both social and communication skills. As part of training programs, employees are to be prepared for dealing with cross-cultural situations and sensitized to interacting with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds through the acquisition of intercultural and diversity-related competencies.

Projects

The concrete goals of the training are:

Raising awareness of cultural differences in communication and conflict situations

Strengthening intercultural and diversity-oriented communication

Increasing awareness of diversity-sensitive practices in everyday and professional contexts

Enhancing personal strategies for engaging with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds

Reducing potential uncertainties in dealing with diversity and strengthening problem-solving skills

ncouraging discussion on intercultural and diversity-related challenges in the workplace

A dialogical approach within a ‘blame-free space’ fosters a constructive and open-minded engagement with the topic, allowing new courses of action to be explored and embraced.

The trainings are based on a didactic-pedagogical concept that includes:

Participants’ personal experiences are actively incorporated throughout the training.

Concepts based on a diversity-oriented fundamental understanding are conveyed.

Acquired knowledge is meant to be both applied and transferred to other contexts.

Our qualification program “Intercultural & Diversity Competence” is modular and can be flexibly tailored to your specific needs using a building-block approach.
Training sessions focused on intercultural and diversity competence are a true passion for our consultants — and, as shown in this video from Diversity Day 2023, they create moments of great professional fulfillment!
