Diversity refers to only the color and gender of people. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Diversity training is a good tool used by companies wanting to change employee's thinking and attitude about others who differ. |
| |
|
|
|
|
I view myself as being more diverse in my attitude, behavior and thinking since I have attended diversity training. |
| |
|

It is a duty and responsibility of the Call Center's manager(s) to assure that "all" of their employees are prepared to assume leadership positions and are given fair assessments and equal opportunity for promotion within the organization. |
| |
|
|
|
|
All individuals regardless of their differences should be valued, accepted and respected for unique viewpoints, ideas, thoughts, creativity and opinions that they bring to the Call Center team(s). |
| |
|
|
|
|
The Call Center values people of differences during meetings and activities which require interaction among the leadership team members. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Representatives of many varied differences are valued, offered opportunities to interact, and to be involved in meetings and activities in the Call Center |
| |
|
|
|
|
Specific boundaries are not created and do not exist among representatives and leadership team members in the Call Center. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Increased diversity among the team members in the Call Center can positively improve, control, minimize and possibly eliminate specific boundaries that are created among the Call Center leadership team and representatives. |
| |
|
|
|
|
The leadership team of the Call Center is cohesive and promotes team spirit among Call Center representatives. |
| |
|
|
|
|
When there is display of cohesion and team spirit among leadership team members in a call center, representatives are likely to be more cohesive and team-spirited also. Cohesion and team-spirit can then be said to be a trickle-down effect. |
| |
|
|
|
|
I feel that when there is "zero tolerance" for less than diverse behavior at all levels within an organization, it is most likely that the company's vision to foster diversity would be more effective. |
| |
|
|
|
|
If the company's vision for diversity is to be fostered, individuals of diverse thinking and mindsets should be positioned in key management and leadership positions. |
