Managing Diversity at the office
Published by Carin August 27th, 2007 in General
Avo has an article in The Star Workplace today, edited by Theo Garrun.
In it Elaine talks about the challenges of managing diverse teams. Although in the past diverse meant managing black and white employees, diversity is now associated with race, gender, culture, personality types and life stages to name a few.
Elaine suggests that the basis for managing diverse teams is acknowledging that we all have a story to tell, and that the basis of diversity is acceptance.
To quote the article: “Diversity is as much about understanding yourself as it is about understanding others and accepting others.”
Elaine, congrats on a fab article once again! Always so much to learn from the Avo boss chicks who write these clever articles!
If you’d like to find out more about experiencing the ‘nuts and bolts’ of diversity with Avo, please contact Gill.
