Discussion 8 1 & 2

week 8 discussion 1

 

Cultural Competence

As U.S. demographics shift and economic globalization continues, organizations are becoming increasingly diverse. To sustain a competitive advantage and enhance organizational performance, HRM professionals must help to develop an environment that acknowledges and values employee differences. Throughout your career, you will see national demographics evolve and the make-up of the nation’s population change. Diversity will become the norm and not the exception in the coming years. This is not a matter of policy; it is a matter of the changing face of the country. HRM professionals are at the forefront of the evolving landscape of the nation. This means that you should work to expand your knowledge of diversity and the many cultures that now comprise our nation. In an effort to help guide this part of your development you will be presented with readings about cultural competence. It is a very important portion of the course and the reality of the modern workplace. For this discussion, address the following:

  • Complete the Cultural Competency Survey for Managers and Supervisors, to assess the cultural competence of your organization.
  • Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your organization’s cultural competence.
  • Support your analysis with the survey results and examples of initiatives and actions you have witnessed in your organization.

Note: You may use this discussion as a starting point for your SWOT analysis in this unit’s assignment. We are now near the end of our course. Early congratulations on all the hard work accomplished thus far!
