The Difference
diversity at work
Being different is the one thing we all have in common
...
Is ‘Managing Diversity’ anything more than a fancy name for
Equal Opportunities? THE DIFFERENCE shows how a strategy which
recognises people’s diversity can release potential, enhance
staff motivation, improve performance and deliver better
service to customers.
DVD with menu-access to each section, and subtitles which can
be switched on if needed.

Video 1: What the Photocopier saw
48 minutes of powerful and entertaining drama scenes showing the
costs and benefits of managing a diverse team badly or well. The
action revolves around the office photocopier, a silent witness
to countless everyday incidents revealing how the business
suffers when team members fail to treat each other with respect.
This is a subtle training video and there is little spoonfeeding
- because Diversity is a subtle and complex subject. Users who
want clear guidance about training points will find it in the
accompanying Training Manual. This is also a more versatile
training video than most - the scenes could contribute to
training in a number of other areas, including communication
skills, team working and supervisory skills. Video 2: Real people: different people Six people talk about the prejudices and
stereotypes they encounter at work because of their personal
characteristics: their age, gender, race, sexuality, disability
or parental responsibilities. Each has their own way of dealing
with other people’s attitudes towards them. For some, prejudice
causes extra pressure to achieve. Some are less able to work
effectively because of the attitudes they meet. In this 24
minute programme, we also hear about the positive benefits each
of the six brings to work by being ‘different’.
