◊ CULTURAL DIVERSITY Defining diversity and understanding how to navigate through a diverse workforce are two very different things. It is one thing to understand what diversity is, but it's another to hire and manage the human complexities of a diverse workforce. In talking about diversity, we not only focus on the visible examples such as race, age, gender, and national origin, but also on not‐so‐ visible examples such as personality style, style of interaction, lifestyle situations, education, work function, etc. It is the identification, acceptance and understanding of those differences and similarities that allow individuals to become aware of and fully use their talents and abilities to make unique contributions to workgroups and organizations.

Many office hazards exist that cause thousands of injuries and health problems. Slippery floors are obvious hazards but a modern office also contains hazards arising from poor lighting, noise and poorly designed furniture and equipment. Additionally, sweeping changes have occurred in workplace establishments as a result of office equipment automation, causing more safety hazards.

◊ FIRST AID WITH CPR AND AED (First Aid can be taught separately) It is a requirement of OSHA that employees be given a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards.

ALLPRO Safety Education Consultants are equipped to meet this need with an instructor who is certified by the American Heart Association and has over 23 years in the medical field.

The material is loaded with hazard awareness tips and provides employees an opportunity to learn how to actively involve themselves with the safety of others. 4 hour class: $400
