Helping You Prepare for America’s Changing Demographics
Diversity Matters Is…
…a consulting firm specializing in diversity/inclusion, global culture, human resources management, organizational development, and customer relations.
The Issue
America’s demographics are changing
Your employees and customers/clients are becoming more culturally diverse
Understanding these differences will make your organization more effective, and help to improve relationships with employees and customers/clients
How Columbus is Being Affected
From a survey of 200 Columbus executives:51% have a diversity program32% say cultural changes are a challenge27% say employee lawsuits are a problem
According to the 2003 US Census, about 102,000 (10.4%) of Franklin County residents over age 5 speak a language other than English, an increase of 20% since 2000
Some Real World SituationsWhat You Observe…
You’re having a serious conversation, possibly a disciplinary issue, with an employee from a non-American cultural background. He looks down as you talk to him, won’t look you in the eye.
You conclude that he’s not paying attention, or disrespecting you.
Real World Situations (continued)
What’s Really Happening…In some cultures, looking someone in the eye when being disciplined is actually a sign of disrespect and defiance. It’s almost akin to “let’s take it outside.”
So this employee is actually showing you the utmost respect, within the context of his cultural norms.
