The Workforce Diversity Generation Management training program guides participants to reflect on how the differences in behavior, attitudes, beliefs, and work values they observe in the workplace may be explained or understood by acknowledging generational differences, such as those between the Baby Boomers Generation, Generation X, Generation Y, or Generation Z. The training targets managers of all levels and aims to equip them with the skills needed to effectively manage their teams while being able to draw out each person’s full potential.

The Innovation Leadership and Diversity Management training program targets high-level management and aims to promote awareness and understanding of how differences in ethnicity or race may result in differences in culture and work values. The training defines the role of high-level management in leading innovative change and managing diversity.

The Gender Equality training program explores the boundaries that have traditionally been used to define genders and the social norms assigned to men and women. The training is administered through a podcast series called “Men Used to Wear Heels”. The podcast presents the concept of gender fluidity by initiating a discussion on how traditionally held gender norms regarding clothing, which previously assigned certain articles of clothing as more suitable for men or women, have now been replaced by a larger market for unisex clothes, which are products that are not targeted for a particular gender and offer consumers the ability to freely choose according to their preferences.
