Diversity Is A Critical Issue For Organizations!

A survey by Korn/Ferry International found that more than 2 million people leave their jobs each year because of unfairness in the workplace. The hiring costs which result from high turnover are a huge stumbling block to company success, not to mention the time investment that goes into screening applicants and acclimating new hires to their role.

Still, the greatest hindrance to progression lies within the heart of the issue – that is, to devalue and exclude employees because they are different is to also place limitations on their contributions and ability to grow.

At its best, diversity is a business strategy that has been shown to increase an organization’s ability to achieve better bottom-line performance and sustain its growth and prosperity. It’s most effective when it’s focused on increasing opportunity for personal and organizational achievement – not on inaccurate beliefs about legalities, obligations and rules.

This webinar is based upon research from Appreciating Diversity, a training program that gives both newly emerging and experienced leaders and managers the tools and techniques for developing and refining their skills.

This learning resource will help your organization retain employees and clients, make better decisions, appreciate diversity and improve performance.

Learn:

• Why diversity is important.
• Understand the subtle ways that bias occurs.
• Identify instances of devaluing others through small, subconscious behaviors and micro-inequities.
• Establish a framework to increase inclusion at the organizational level.
• Recognize different ways of conveying respect.
• Address conflict productively and respectfully.
• Lead by example and be part of the solution

In many organizations, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and their team understands the need for a strategic approach to managing an enterprise information security program.

However, continual tactical “fire drills” rarely allow time to be dedicated to strategic objectives. Given typical CISO resource constraints, efficient and effective operations is critical to success.

Running a cybersecurity program through a disciplined program management approach enables CISOs to bridge gaps between tactical time pulls and the goals of a strategically oriented, business focused information security program. For smaller organizations that may not have a security staff at all, the Cybersecurity Program Management Office (PMO) concept provides a model for obtaining the necessary services.
