Communication in Diverse Teams
In this event series we put in touch HR / talent managers and trainers, and showcase different ways of building skills.This time, the focus will be on diversity in teams, and on how to enable better communication in diverse groups of people.
In this workshop we will look at how two experienced trainers work with diverse teams to enable better teamwork and perspective-taking, and we will get a sample of the work they do.
Different teams have different needs, just like different trainers use different techniques. There isn’t always a match between a company and a trainer: it’s frustrating and wasteful, and we don’t like that.
All it takes is for hr managers / talent mangers and trainers to start talking, to see what the other one needs and find a meeting point – and the best way to do so is to have trainers show what they do and share some of their knowledge and to have talent managers listen and see what works for their team.
Who are the trainers?
