our society锟絪 multiculturalism has diversified much of today锟絪 workforce. diversity can
be a positive dimension that expands and enriches the workplace environment, or it can
lead to increased misunderstanding, conflict, and decreased productivity.
one way to prevent possible misunderstanding or discrimination on the job, while
improving the working relationship and productivity of multi-ethnic and culturally
diverse employees is through education. education about the unfamiliar or the unknown
is the first step towards greater understanding and tolerance.
towards this end, the islamic speakers bureau of albany delivers an interactive
multimedia presentation specially designed for corporate employees and managers. the
session focuses on muslims and their religious practices that may impact the
workplace. we also address the stereotyping of muslims and explain the reality behind
many of these perceptions.
