Communication and Diversity: Learner Guide/CD Study Guide

This text emphasizes the skills necessary for communicating effectively in a diverse work force. Understanding the changes taking place in the American work force and the trends in the global economy can help eliminate communication barriers and lead to opportunities. Knowledge on how to overcome stereotypes and value differences in gender, age, culture, and physical ability is obtained by completing the workshops provided throughout the chapters. Multimedia components enhance the impact of the workshops so users can complete a variety of exercises on the computer, watch video footage of people effectively communicating on the job, and use the Internet to conduct further research.
