Please join us for a session on 

 Creating a Culturally Competent Law Firm

presented by DeAnna Vaughan, CLM, SPHR, SHRM-SCP

 

Cultural competence is an awareness of the cultural differences that makes each person unique; it is the ability to interact with and appreciate belief systems that differ from our own, thereby creating a way for everyone to work cross culturally. The goal of this presentation is to enhance knowledge and skills for building and maintaining a multicultural organization and becoming positive change agents for our workplaces. This program asks participants to understand and reflect on their role as a leader responsible for promoting inclusion and building successful and effective working relationships within our organizations.


Participants will:

·        Define diversity and culture and its impact on relationships within our organizations.

·        Recognize our unconscious biases and how they impact our culture and hiring decisions.

·        Understand the importance of collaborative working relationships with diverse others and the benefits of diverse perspectives in problem solving.

·        Recognize the importance of infusing diversity into our organizations to achieve a more productive, respectful and cooperative work environment.
