Our
diversity consulting services are driven by one core philosophy:
valuing and leveraging diversity are business imperatives which
directly and positively impact morale, retention, productivity,
sales and the bottom line. All of our consulting engagements are
customized to meet clients’ needs and culture, typically flowing
through four key phases:
1.
Assessment, Report & Recommendations
2.
Engaging the Leadership: Linking Diversity to The Strategic Business
Plan and Bottom Line Results
3.
Training: Core competencies for valuing and leveraging internal
and external diversity
4.
Re-enforcement and Diversity Coaching
Training
using live, professional theater :
Our
eleven years of experience providing diversity training in hundreds
of major corporations and government agencies has consistently demonstrated
that live, professional theater, interactive facilitation
and experiential learning are the most
powerful, effective and efficient diversity training methods available
anywhere. This is why we have developed five different programs
featuring these unique and compelling training techniques. And clients
consistently report their employees rate Orlando-Ward & Associates’
programs as “exceptional,” “uniquely powerful,”
and “right on target.”
Common
elements in all Orlando-Ward & Associates’ diversity training
programs…
• Live, professional actors
portraying realistic employees (at every level) in realistic organizations
that look remarkably like yours
• Program facilitation by a recognized
and experienced subject matter expert
• Audience interactive Q&A session
with the actors returning to the stage “in character”
Core messages about diversity that directly reflect your
organization’s values, philosophy and strategic initiatives
Diversity
is arguably the most complex issue anyone in management
will ever encounter. Many managers want help from a diversity
subject matter expert who is also an executive coach. Orlando-Ward
& Associates diversity coaches are highly skilled, culturally
competent and always results oriented.
Additional available training components…
• Manager’s skills for valuing
and leveraging diversity; resolving diversity conflicts
• Custom created experiential learning sessions allowing trainees
to practice new skills on professional actors portraying fictional
employees of your organization with realistic diversity challenges
