The key to a successful organization is understanding and developing a strong, inclusive culture. By making inclusion a part of core company values, organizations can create a safe space that will bring team members together and transform company culture.
Through Cultural Intelligence (CQ), individuals, teams, and organizations will better understand how each relates, adapts, and works in culturally diverse situations.
At Cooper Consulting Group, we have experienced cultural intelligence consultants to help organizations and teams with cultural intelligence workshops and cultural intelligence leadership development. Call us today at (888) 614-9709 to find out how we can help.
What is Cultural Intelligence?
CQ is best described as working and relating effectively with people from different backgrounds. The culturally intelligent person understands domestic diversity and is able to work effectively with peers, colleagues, and customers from different generations, ethnicities, functions, organizations, regions, and more. The first step toward developing CQ is measuring cultural values and potential bias through the Cultural Values Profile.
Who’s Cultural Intelligence for?
CQ and the Cultural Values Profile are for individuals, teams, and organizations seeking to manage bias across small and large businesses and work more effectively with peers, colleagues, and customers. We find that many organizations use cultural intelligence training for leaders to help bring their teams to new levels.
What does Cultural Intelligence measure?
The Cultural Intelligence Tool (CQ) explores triggers that activate an individual’s biased thoughts. Through a variety of interactive activities, reflection prompts, and short video vignettes, participants can explore personal biases and share strategies to prevent the application of these biases. Participants will be encouraged to commit to taking continued action to build individual and organizational resilience to bias.
What are the benefits of Cultural Intelligence?
Individuals and organizations will learn to embrace different cultures and viewpoints, driving innovation, and improving decision-making. These improvements lead to increased staff productivity and retention, often ushering in higher profitability.
Building Inclusivity in the Workplace Workshop
We know diversity makes for stronger organizations. When companies embrace and value employees of different backgrounds in the workplace, they reap the rewards of creativity and innovation, a strong company culture, improved employee performance, and more. Diversity isn’t the same as inclusivity, though.
Inclusivity is the next step to successfully supporting a diverse workforce. It’s about creating an environment that welcomes and includes each employee. Through our Cultural Intelligence workshop, your organization can experience the benefits of managing bias and creating inclusion, becoming a stronger workplace, inclusive of diverse backgrounds and personalities.
