Abstract
The program targets small enterprises in Jordan and is intended for general managers, line managers, and HR practitioners within those enterprises. The program is implemented through Business Support Providers (BSPs) that target small enterprises with their service offerings. The overall objective of the training program is to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of small enterprises by enabling them to acquire the necessary knowledge and competencies for adopting diversity strategies and creating enabling work environments and inclusive organizational cultures. The program aims to develop the knowledge of small businesses in workplace diversity management by introducing them to the main concepts of workplace diversity, discussing both its benefits and challenges. The training program consists of three modules. Module One focuses on developing the knowledge of small businesses in workplace diversity management by introducing them to the main concepts of workplace diversity, discussing both its benefits and challenges. Module Two provides practical guidelines to help organizations integrate diversity and inclusion into organizational processes and practices. Module Three aims to develop the skills required for planning and implementing effective diversity and inclusion initiatives, providing a step-by-step approach to strategic planning and a number of related sample templates. By the end of the training, participating businesses will be able to explain the concepts of workplace diversity, identify the benefits that a diverse workforce brings to the organization, and define workplace diversity management. They will also be able to describe factors that impact diversity management decisions and practices, explain how inclusion is created and practiced within an organization, and describe different HR management approaches for managing workplace diversity. The training program provides a step-by-step approach to strategic planning, including preparing to start, establishing a task force, conducting a diversity audit, and developing a diversity and inclusion strategic plan. It also provides guidance on implementing the strategic plan, monitoring, and evaluation. The program encourages organizations to complete all three training modules to reap full benefit of the training program. The training program is designed to be customized based on participants' needs, allowing for a natural progress from awareness of workplace diversity concepts and rationale to practical guidance on diversity management strategies and tools. The program is intended for a broader audience of organizations, consultants, and trainers interested in workplace diversity management.
