Course Outlines
Respectful Communication
We do not all share similar life experiences and communications styles in the workplace. Unknown or known biases, limited experience working with differences, and conflict, create the necessity for raising awareness of respectful communication. The overarching goal of this course is to create a common understanding of the impact of these differences by collectively defining respect, civility, and inclusiveness and improve communication as a result.
Generations in the Workplace – All Employees
Participants learn the characteristics of each generation, including the pros and cons, for the purpose of collaborating successfully across generational gaps. It includes communication activities designed to engage the learner in professional growth towards respectful and inclusive perspectives and actions.
Global Understanding
Today’s global marketplace calls for intercultural understanding and cross-cultural communication skills to maximize business operations and working relationships. Participants will gain the cultural competence required to build successful relationships with global colleagues and customers by learning how the foundational values of selected cultures manifest into behaviors, communication styles and business practices.
Generation Gap and the Workplace – Managers and Supervisors

Diversity and Inclusion – Essential Concepts and Practices
