At Prospera Training Solutions, we strongly believe in the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion, not just because it is advantageous, but because it is the right thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if employees speak the same language, they face different perceptions caused by individual differences and cultural backgrounds. As a result, diverse organizations face increased challenges due to communication and cultural differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By supporting and promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, companies are discovering that they are gaining benefits in business performance, innovation, and engagement. However, even industry-leading organizations also encounter higher levels of misunderstandings and miscommunications caused by cultural differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When planning to achieve higher levels of diversity, it is important to find ways to incorporate more women and other under-represented groups in management positions, and also adequately prepare workplaces to welcome people with disabilities. Each organization\u2019s needs are different, so there is no one-fits-all solution. Instead, we propose to start with this basic first step: self- and another-awareness based on these action items:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help employees \u2013 especially managers \u2013 become more aware of how unconscious biases could lead to exclusion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide teams with a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities of working across cultures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand how to communicate effectively while avoiding common misunderstandings among people from different backgrounds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise confidence when discussing and addressing problems in a multicultural team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find ways to enhance an inclusiveness mindset and culture in the workplace.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Facilitation Dynamics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prospera Training Solutions facilitates our DEI training programs by driving discussions and guiding participants. We do not lecture. Instead, we provide the tools and discussions so that teams can self-discover the best way forward. This approach allows participants to assume responsibility for their own learning experience, ensuring interactive learner-centered and problem-based learning, while dealing with a highly-sensitive topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the Benefits?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With our DEI module, we help teams:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become aware of how unconscious biases could lead to exclusive behaviors and microaggressions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facilitate positive intergroup interaction, reduce prejudice, and eliminate discrimination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhance the knowledge of cultural differences, from country norms to identity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enable continued improvement to make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of every major workforce initiative in a way that strengthens corporate social responsibility (CSR).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants also achieve self-developmental goals including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work better with people with different abilities, backgrounds, nationalities, genders, and sexual orientations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become more inclusive of all types of employees and understand the benefits of doing so.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describe the actions needed to create a greater sense of belonging for everyone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are developing solutions aimed at making your workplace more inclusive, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/en\/portfolio-item\/unconscious-bias-diversity\/#toggle-id-1-closed\">Unconscious Bias and Diversity e-learning course<\/a> offers an effective way to cover sensitive topics with a mindful, yet entertaining, approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1877\" style=\"width: 508px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/en\/portfolio-item\/unconscious-bias-diversity\/#toggle-id-1-closed\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1877\" class=\"wp-image-1877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347-1030x576.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347-705x394.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prosperatraining.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-04-13-235347.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Learn more about Unconscious Bias &amp;
