Correct Answer

Approaches to diversity training include: 1)attitude awareness and change,2)behavior change,and 3)cultural immersion. Programs that focus on attitudes have objectives to increase participants' awareness of cultural and ethnic differences as well as differences in personal characteristics and physical characteristics (such as disabilities).These programs are based on the assumption that people who become aware of differences and their stereotypes about those differences will be able to avoid letting stereotypes influence their interactions with people. Programs that focus on behavior aim to change the organizational policies and individual behaviors that inhibit employees' personal growth and productivity.Sometimes these programs identify incidents that discourage employees from working up to their potential. Another approach starts with the assumption that all individuals differ in various ways and teaches skills for constructively handling the communication barriers,conflicts,and misunderstandings that necessarily arise when different people try to work together.Trainees may be more positive about receiving this type of training than other kinds of diversity training. Finally,some organizations provide diversity training in the form of cultural immersion,sending employees directly into communities where they have to interact with persons from different cultures,races,and nationalities.Participants might talk with community members,work in community organizations,or learn about events that are significant to the community they visit. Explanation: Methods that provide economic value greater than the cost of using them are said to have utility.
