Services for Organizations - Consultation Focus

Diversity and Sensitivity Trainings
CCPS works throughout the United States with organizations to inform and educate leaders and employees about cultural diversity issues. The following are only some of the issues CCPS can address within organizations. These issues can manifest as irrational fears, discrimination, and conflict that can subtly or grossly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization.

		Racism
		Ethnocentrism
		Sexism and Gender Inequity
		Homophobia
		Ableism
		Ageism

At present, underrepresented cultural groups make up 25% of the U.S. population and are projected to become the majority by 2050 (Organista, Chun, & Marín, 1998; U.S. Department of Commerce, 2001). Increasingly, organizations are realizing the need to understand diversity issues and incorporate relevant minority experiences into the organizational structure (Locke, 1998). Race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, religious affiliation, nationality, family culture, beliefs, and customs are all relevant when considering diversity issues in the workplace and educational systems.

CCPS works on-site or off-site with individuals and small groups by employing focus groups, surveys, and public forums to assess and evaluate problems, processes, and solutions. Data analysis and written reports are generated off-site.
