| Abstract | "Diversity Training puts a different spin on the term diversity. This volume offers a fresh perspective designed to help you and your organization find common ground. Start by learning to differentiate myth from fact, get management on board, and increase employee job satisfaction and reduce turnover by creating a positive working environment for everyone. In addition, the icon-driven format is easy to follow, and the supporting digital content (available by download from ASTD) provides helpful complimentary information."--Publisher's description. |
