Why Diversity is Upside Down

Why Diversity is Upside Down
We live in an Upside Down World. So much of what we know of how the world works has been flipped on its head. The US` position in geopolitics. The way healthcare will work in the US. How products get manufactured. How we consume entertainment. How we connect with one another. The best practices have become obsolete. But we`re not sure what the new and next practices are. If all these and many more things are in the midst of questioning their basic presuppositions, then diversity should be no different. In what ways is diversity upside down?

The Millennials:

The Millennials:
Why This Generation Will Challenge the Workplace like No Other
We are not ready for our children to go to work. Yet employees of our children`s generation are already in the workforce. And our workplaces will never be the same. In this eye-opening discussion, Tapia explores how Millennials are affecting the workplace with their views on tenure, best practices, work/life balance, planning, and expectations. He explains what this younger generation wants and needs from supervisors and what they are prepared to give in return. This is a provocative discussion that will leave audiences reevaluating how they approach all employees, not just newcomers.

Women in Leadership

Women in Leadership
Why Current Best Practices Will Not Be Enough to Shatter the Glass Ceiling
In much of the world, women represent half of the labor force. They have revolutionized the workplace with their presence, their perspectives, skills, and demands. Women have introduced new approaches to managing people and working collaboratively, and led the way to new benefits that support all employees. As a result, our corporations and countries have been enriched. Yet despite this reality, women still have a long way to go before reaching parity at the executive level.

In this discussion, Tapia shares the breakthrough changes that are needed to advance greater numbers of women into the executive suite. He offers corporate leaders innovative ways of looking at the different perspectives and behaviors women bring to the workplace, while providing ways to discuss these differences openly and honestly with both women and men.

Next Generation Diversity:

Next Generation Diversity:
Global, Profitable, and Sustainable
There is much uncertainty now about finance, healthcare, business and HR. The world is upside down, conventional wisdom is slipping into the realm of confusion, and the best practices of Diversity 1.0 have run their course. As a result, our global, hyper-competitive business environment requires that our workplaces adopt the next generation of diversity practices.

In this presentation, Andres Tapia describes key trends and strategies in diversity and inclusion and cross-cultural competence that affect all businesses. In his riveting and passionate manner, Tapia shares the next framework for high impact diversity work and offers practical, groundbreaking approaches that business leaders can implement to harness the power of cross cultural competence -- the critical ingredient for creating inclusive workplaces.

Disability:The Diversity Issue We Fear the Most
In a split second, any one of us can experience a life-changing event that could leave us disabled. It is the one diversity category that anyone can join at any moment. And it frightens most of us more than we admit. Not only is the fear prevalent in society and in our workplaces, it is a topic that even diversity practitioners struggle to address. Through the use of compelling stories, Tapia helps audiences face this fear while rethinking the concepts of disability and ability. He encourages audiences to view disabilities as a part of the human condition while transforming our workplaces to leverage the skills, talents, and ambitions of people with disabilities.

The Four Pillars of What Makes People of Color Stay and Thrive
Many company recruiters have become quite adept at finding, courting, and hiring multicultural talent. Where this process collapses is retaining and training this same group of employees. Too often, and often much too quickly, heavily recruited minority employees depart after hitting the hidden barriers of exclusion. In this stimulating discussion, Tapia helps company leaders understand the aspects of corporate culture that weaken multicultural employees` bonds to their companies. He helps companies find alternative ways to address the revolving door syndrome for multicultural talent.
