Creating
Excellence through Diversity
|
| This Diversity Programme was developed to
underpin the changing culture within the organisation. There
was a requirement for a widespread understanding and commitment
to the issues of diversity and how they differ from Equal
Opportunities in the organisation. These customised interactive
workshops were divided into four main elements to allow
a deep learning process to occur within the group. Trans4mation
has now designed an interactive CD and Intranet site for
all staff to help sustain the learning and behaviour shifts
from this programme. |

| Outcomes |
| "Very good - a calm, open approach
which encouraged us to be open about ourselves"
"Kept my attention and made me think about superficial
and deep seated issues"
"Good to have role plays - gave something tangible
to work with, and an idea of real situations that we might
come across"
"Mixture of group work, presentation and lecture
based delivery was very effective"
Sponsors comments
"Trans4mation went wider than their brief by picking
up on issues raised by particular groups and circulating
additional customised material after some workshops. They
also provided generalised feedback on common themes to
the policy unit and spent time with individual participants
who requested further advice."
