Virtual Series: Cultural Competencies: What They Are & Why They Are Important

Description

Webinar 4: Cultural Competencies: What They are & Why They are Important

As employers step into becoming a diverse, equitable & inclusive organization, they start thinking differently about talent attraction and who the future of their workforce is. They become intentional about recruiting talent with diverse worldviews, which often means different norms, beliefs, customs and values. This diversity adds to the richness of an organization, but it’s important for businesses to equip themselves with cultural competencies to set both the individuals and organization up for success. This webinar will introduce participants to the skillset and mindset of cultural competency and strategies for its development in your workplace.

Learning outcomes:

• Why it is important to implement a cultural competency development strategy in the workplace
• What happens when an organization does not value cultural competency
• How an organization can create learning & development around cultural competency
• Skillset and mindset of cultural competency
