Cultural Diversity Coaching
Is cultural diversity enhancing or hindering your business? In your business do you currently recognize this situation?
- Your Managers are managing employees from several cultural backgrounds
- Some of your employees are new Australians and struggling to ‘fit in’
- You were not born or educated in Australia and find it challenging to manage a team of Australians
- Your people are not culturally engaged and local staff feel disenfranchised as better qualified staff recently arrived from overseas join the team or take their promotions
- That individuals from some cultures are extroverted and others are inhibited to speak up or be empowered
- That there may be tensions in the team due to language barriers, misunderstood jokes and a lack of social activity and cohesion
Australia has always been a melting pot of cultures, but the profile of new migrant has been changing over the last ten years. Increasingly, more qualified managers with better technical skills are arriving in Australia; keen to fulfill their potential and aspirations while making a positive contribution to the workplace.
Cultural Diversity Coaching will assist your Managers and Workforce by:
- Offering confidential, neutral and non judgmental one to one coaching to new and mature managers by credible coaches sharing their experience of managing cross-cultural teams
- Providing insights into the values, preferences and priorities of different cultures
- Transferring knowledge about cultural incentives and motivators to become ‘culturally confident’
- Recognising that some workplace policies can no longer be ‘one size fits all’ and may need to be adapted
- Building mutual respect for all cultures, religions and backgrounds to encourage loyalty, retention and motivation
Expected Outcomes
- Harmony in the workplace = greater productivity = greater profits
- Creating an environment of teamwork and respect for one another whilst still retaining cultural identity and individualism
- Turning corporate values into measurable actions to win the hearts and minds of the team
- Increased creativity/flexibility when solving problems
- Managers become role models for equality, justice and a ‘fair go’
