At its core, diversity is about building relationships that respect an individual's inherent worth and dignity. At the heart of any relationship is communication-be it between employees at work or between a husband and wife.

It's pocket-sized for convenience. Keep it handy, write in it, bend its pages, and bookmark it with sticky notes. Conversation about diversity often involves words that are charged with emotion. Not everyone comes to the table with the same understanding of words, even of the common terms we use every day. It is absolutely imperative for all of us to speak with precision and clarity. Only then can there truly be a shared pool of knowledge, a shared experience that transcends background, education, and upbringing.

If you have any kind of diversity training at all at your company or
organization, you will see the value of this handy reference. It's
inexpensive (especially at the bulk-purchase price) and easy to incorporate
into any existing training program. And there's nothing like it available.

We hope you'll find it as useful as we have since putting it together.

"Diversity is more than simply demographics. It's also about the perspectives we each bring to the table through our unique experiences. Any truly successful organization values diversity, promotes inclusiveness and appreciates the benefits diversity brings to strengthening a community."
