Cultural Diversity Training Activities Help Organizations Stay Productive

Online, June 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Cultural diversity training activities can help organizations stay productive and stave off the record number of workplace discrimination complaints. If cultural diversity training activities also include education about retaliation and harassment, such cultural diversity training activities will be worth the time and money spent to implement. With the average cost to defend a law suit soars well into six figures, cultural diversity training activities and EEO training will help managers recognize the danger signs in their organizations.

For example, the EEOC reported that retaliation was the leading cause reported violation. Cultural diversity training activities can address these trends and help organizations prevent such complaints. Cultural diversity training activities which educate organizations can also identify "bad actors" and train them to minimize the risk in an organization.

Patricia Berkly LLC has developed a 72 point risk assessment which is used to custom design cultural diversity training activities. The Risk Assessment will analyze organizational threats, and potential cost to an organization if sued. Patricia Berkly's cultural diversity training activities when used in tandem with the risk assessment can educate an organization and side step discrimination complaints. Cultural diversity training activities are proactive measures for an organization instead of them waiting to react to a court summons.

Organizations that don't have cultural diversity training activities in many ways are sitting on a time bomb. Without cultural diversity training activities, a bully, aggressive personality, or even unwitting mistake can land a company in court. Cultural diversity training activities are good ways to keep the staff compliant. Just as organizations have training on the latest software to remain on the cutting edge, cultural diversity training activities help organizations keep up with the latest trends in workplace discrimination legislation. Just as equipment and resources need updating, cultural diversity training activities also need to be updated with legislative change in mind.

Over the past year, there have been several changes regarding the threshold for retaliation, lodging a complaint and GINA regulations. Cultural diversity training activities that extend education to staff and managers keep everyone "in the know." Ignorance is not an excuse for the law, neither is avoiding cultural diversity training activities. Instead of thinking of cultural diversity training activities as another program that wastes time. Cultural diversity training activities should be viewed as any other necessary industry update. Without updated cultural diversity training activities and educational programs, organizations will operate on outdated knowledge and risk a law suit.
