On March 11, 2010, Options for Success was recognized for Excellence in Leadership by the Human Resources Management Association of Manitoba (HRMAM) in the category of Diversity & Cultural Awareness.

We are a Human Resources and performance management company that focuses on culture and diversity challenges, the integration of newcomers into the workplace, and working with multi-generational workforces to increase understanding and adaptability in order to build capacity within client organizations. It is our goal to continue our work by increasing Cultural Intelligence (CI) in workplaces across all sectors.

Options for Success is pleased to launch a new signature presentation: Culture Shock: What You Don’t Know About How Culture Influences the Workplace.

What you don’t know about how culture influences the workplace can cost you. Although we seem to better understand the need for ‘equity’ and ‘diversity’ in the workplace, this does not often translate into ‘integration’.

• Do you know what the competencies of cultural integration are?
  
• Do you know how recognition of prior learning in a cultural context links with training and development?
  
• Do you understand how people of different cultures interpret self-assessments, learning plans, coaching, and feedback?
  
• Are you making culturally-appropriate choices in your decision-making?
  
• Have you grasped the complexity of culture norms in the success of integrating and leveraging foreign-trained talent?

No? Now is the time.

As part of the session, Options for Success will present our Cultural Intelligence Assessment Tool. This tool allows participants to assess their cultural fluency in relation to recruitment and retention, group dynamics, prior learning and recognition, training and development, and performance evaluation, feedback and coaching.
As subject matter experts in the field of multi-generational and multi-cultural workforces, we have delivered presentations to Conference Board of Canada, Canadian Association of Prior Learning Assessment (CAPLA), Manitoba Hydro, Emergis (Telus), Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC), and Occupational Rehabilitation Group of Canada. Call 989-0141 to engage us in increasing your Cultural Intelligence.
