CHRP Recertification Points: 2 

Many organizations want to develop a diverse workforce and a welcoming environment, but do not understand what is necessary to accomplish this goal.  Developing employees who are Culturally Competent is a first step towards creating a Culturally Competent organization.  If you have responsibility for working with diversity or want to initiate the discussion within your workplace, this session will start you on the journey.

By attending this session, participants will be able to:

• define cultural competency
• understand a model of cultural competency
• understand what is necessary to achieve cultural competency
• learn how cultural competency training can be introduced into your workplace
• understand how workplace diversity can be measured in the workplace, and
• discuss the role of diversity in the workplace.
