Diversity is more than rattling off a list of words
 Brainstorm:
 When you hear about diversity what comes
to mind
 At the top level
 Middle level
 Your level
 Diversity – essential ways we differ
 Inclusiveness – widen the circle
 Cultural awareness – know your self
 Cross-cultural awareness – know the other
 Equity – equality of opportunity
 Racism – discrimination plus power
 Discrimination – treating others differently
because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual
orientation etc. to their disadvantage
 Age
 Race
 Sex
 Sexual orientation
 Nationality
 Ethnic background
 Marital/Family status
 Gender determined characteristics
 Ethnicity
 Ability
 Political beliefs
 Religious beliefs
 Class/social status
 Historically, the workplace was built around
white Anglo-Saxon values and work ethics.
Workers outside of the dominant culture
were not considered in the workplace cultural
equation. They were to come in and fit within
the norms of the established organization
 Canada’s multiculturalism policy
 Increased diversity through immigration and
refugee claimants
 Changing face of the workplace
 To include others not historically considered
requires a paradigm shift in thinking.
 A radical shift in normal thinking e.g.
 WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS
HAVING A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS
HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE
 a mental model
 a way of seeing
 a filter for one's perceptions
 a frame of reference
 a framework of thought or beliefs through which
one's world or reality is interpreted
 an example used to define a phenomenon
 a commonly held belief among a group of people,
such as scientists of a given discipline
 Think of a Paradigm Shift as a change from
one way of thinking to another. It's a
revolution, a transformation, a sort of
metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but
rather it is driven by agents of change.
 These principles are reflected in values that
apply to each and every human being.
 The values of universal brotherhood, love for
one's neighbor, and the golden rule of
treating others as we ourselves would wish to
be treated - or better yet as they wish to be
treated -are just some of the ideals that are
common to all cultures.
 Multicultural events provide opportunities for
members of different communities to learn
more about each other, thus fostering
increased awareness and understanding of
the diversity within the human community.
 Having cultural resource groups at the
workplace is one way of being cultural
sensitive to those outside of the dominant
group. These groups can provide such
functions as mentoring, coaching and
showing them the ropes to successfully
integrate in the workplace.
 Employees can be encouraged to dress in
their traditional wear and not only the so-
called “ethnics” but all employees. This will
allow those employees who believe they do
not have a culture to do some research into
their own cultural heritage and share it with
the group. There is nothing more powerful
that self-knowledge. “We are all ethnics.”
 Respect breeds respect and it is the core
value of any workplace.
 It’s time to stop incompetent managers in
their tracks - those who use bullying,
intimidation and harassment as legitimate
management tools.
 The new manager in a diverse workforce
needs to be a coach and an inspirer
 We need to give each other the space to grow,
to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We
need to give each other space so that we may
both give and receive such beautiful things as
ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and
inclusion.

Diversity paradigm

  • 1. Diversity is more than rattling off a list of words
  • 2.  Brainstorm:  When you hear about diversity what comes to mind
  • 3.  At the top level  Middle level  Your level
  • 4.  Diversity – essential ways we differ  Inclusiveness – widen the circle  Cultural awareness – know your self  Cross-cultural awareness – know the other  Equity – equality of opportunity  Racism – discrimination plus power  Discrimination – treating others differently because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation etc. to their disadvantage
  • 5.  Age  Race  Sex  Sexual orientation  Nationality  Ethnic background  Marital/Family status  Gender determined characteristics
  • 6.  Ethnicity  Ability  Political beliefs  Religious beliefs  Class/social status
  • 7.  Historically, the workplace was built around white Anglo-Saxon values and work ethics. Workers outside of the dominant culture were not considered in the workplace cultural equation. They were to come in and fit within the norms of the established organization
  • 8.  Canada’s multiculturalism policy  Increased diversity through immigration and refugee claimants  Changing face of the workplace
  • 9.  To include others not historically considered requires a paradigm shift in thinking.
  • 10.  A radical shift in normal thinking e.g.  WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS HAVING A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE
  • 11.  a mental model  a way of seeing  a filter for one's perceptions  a frame of reference  a framework of thought or beliefs through which one's world or reality is interpreted  an example used to define a phenomenon  a commonly held belief among a group of people, such as scientists of a given discipline
  • 12.  Think of a Paradigm Shift as a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change.
  • 13.  These principles are reflected in values that apply to each and every human being.
  • 14.  The values of universal brotherhood, love for one's neighbor, and the golden rule of treating others as we ourselves would wish to be treated - or better yet as they wish to be treated -are just some of the ideals that are common to all cultures.
  • 15.  Multicultural events provide opportunities for members of different communities to learn more about each other, thus fostering increased awareness and understanding of the diversity within the human community.
  • 16.  Having cultural resource groups at the workplace is one way of being cultural sensitive to those outside of the dominant group. These groups can provide such functions as mentoring, coaching and showing them the ropes to successfully integrate in the workplace.
  • 17.  Employees can be encouraged to dress in their traditional wear and not only the so- called “ethnics” but all employees. This will allow those employees who believe they do not have a culture to do some research into their own cultural heritage and share it with the group. There is nothing more powerful that self-knowledge. “We are all ethnics.”
  • 18.  Respect breeds respect and it is the core value of any workplace.  It’s time to stop incompetent managers in their tracks - those who use bullying, intimidation and harassment as legitimate management tools.  The new manager in a diverse workforce needs to be a coach and an inspirer
  • 19.  We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.  Max de Pree
