FACILITATOR NOTES: These notes correspond to slide #4 – Diversity EXPLAIN: There are three dimensions to diversity: The human element of diversity is characterized by physical differences, personal preferences or life experiences. It includes differences in gender, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. The cultural element of diversity is characterized by differing belief systems, ethnicity, values, styles, and history. It involves personal characteristics associated with cross-cultural relationships, communication, work styles and ethics. The third dimension of diversity is known as systems diversity. This element is characterized by organizational structure and management systems. Examples include global businesses, teamwork, empowerment and full acceptance of various work/life perspectives.
