"Organizations that Work for Everyone"
More and more, diversity and organizational success are seen as linked. Differences can lead to crisis or opportunity-differences can be a source of conflict and blocked energy or be woven together in ways that create energy. Organizational culture can involve a sense of shared purpose and vision and of valuing differences, community, and positive outlook--the fabric of working relationships.
NCCH's FrameWork for Organizational Cultural Competence provides a step-by-step process to initiate or revitalize your organization's diversity efforts, transform diversity issues, and generate useful and measurable outcomes. It is a guide that begins with organizational assessment, moves to awareness training and activities, and progresses through systematic steps to build skills to think, act, and bring about meaningful and lasting change -- in ways that are efficient and effective, energize and endure.
Diversity Initiatives Include Activities and Skills to Develop and Sustain:
- Diversity Education & Training -- core curriculums for everyone, with more advanced topics available.
- Research & Measurement -- cost-effective and focused ways to identify, assess and measure needed change and gauge progress.
- Leadership -- develop the commitment and support of top management and diversity councils or committees.
- Culture and Management Systems -- strategies that interrelate and support one another.
Is This Your Organization?:
- Your organization has a diversity committee or council. Goals seem fuzzy, members have lots of ideas yet cannot seem to agree on a plan. The boss is asking "what next?"
- Your organization, school, business or community wants to establish a diversity council and is not sure how people might react or where to begin.
