The Kaleidoscope Effect:
How Diversity
Fuels Performance
Meet Amy, a Human Resource Manager
a food importer and distributor.
Amy realised that there had been many issues arising off late. She not only recognized the lack of racial and gender diversity but also observed an alarming underrepresentation of employees across different age groups.
The first struggle was an increasing instance of DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOUR and MICROAGGRESIONS experienced by employees based on age, gender, and cultural/racial background. Amy felt that these are clear indications of an intolerant workplace culture.
The second challenge was LOW EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT. Amy noticed that the organisation often experienced lower employee engagement and satisfaction, as individuals from underrepresented groups felt undervalued and disconnected from the organization.

The third challenge was HIGH TURNOVER RATES. Amy also saw a trend amongst employees of diverse backgrounds, where there was a disproportionately high turnover rate suggesting that the company's culture may not be welcoming or inclusive.

Amy feels that she needs to quickly get to the bottom of it and work alongside her employees to achieve their goals.

Creating an inclusive and diverse company requires a range of skills and competencies.
Here are some key skills that can help drive performance through inclusivity and diversity:
Effective communication involves actively listening to others, being open to feedback, and encouraging dialogue and collaboration.
Being flexible and adaptable is crucial. This involves being willing to adjust policies and practices to better support employees from different backgrounds and cultures.
Leaders must be able to communicate a clear vision, inspire others, and lead by example.
Having empathy means being able to understand and relate to others' experiences and emotions. This skill can help build stronger relationships with employees and create a more supportive and inclusive workplace.
CLASSROOM TRAINING
While Clare can learn these skills through self-help books or YouTube videos, classroom training offers several advantages:
#1
Interactive Learning
Classroom training provides an interactive learning experience where you can engage with professional trainers – while learning from their wealth of experience and the experience of other participants. This allows for feedback, group discussions, and role-playing exercises that can enhance your learning experience.
#2
Personalised Feedback
In a classroom training setting, trainers can provide personalised feedback to help you identify areas of strength and weakness. This feedback can help you tailor your learning to your specific needs and goals.
#3
Practice
Classroom training provides opportunities for you to practise your soft skills in a safe and supportive environment. This can help you build confidence and develop your skills more effectively than simply reading about them in a book.
#4
Networking
Classroom training provides an opportunity to network with other participants who are also interested in developing their soft skills. This can help you build relationships and gain new perspectives on different challenges.
#5
Structure
Classroom training provides a structured learning environment that can help you stay on track and focused on your goals. Self-help books may lack structure and can be overwhelming, making it difficult to know where to start and how to progress.
