The Diversity and Cultural Awareness Profile (DCA) An organization's success rests heavily on how well it harnesses the array of skills and experiences of its employees while they remain a part of its workforce. How good is it at fostering teamwork? Does it bring together people of diverse backgrounds and styles in order to enhance creativity, solve problems more effectively, and discover new approaches to old issues? The organization must do all these things if it wants to achieve its goals and hold on to its best and brightest workers. The Diversity and Cultural Awareness Profile looks at the individual’s awareness of differences among people in the organization and assesses their level of commitment to such diversity. This is done by examining the individual’s views and understanding about diversity, as well as their perspective regarding the organization’s awareness and commitment to a culturally diverse workplace. Because Diversity and Cultural Awareness is such a broad subject, this assessment breaks it down into six competency areas. Individuals completing this questionnaire will be assessed in each of the six competency areas:
Many researchers and industry experts believe that the organizations that excel at these things have six characteristics in common-six sets of actions or attitudes that form the foundation of a successful team of people who take pride in together achieving greater levels of success. |
