College Offers Class in Workplace Issues
- Share via
Irvine Valley College is offering a class that will address the changing dynamics of the culturally diverse work force.
The course, starting Jan. 14, will help managers learn how social and cultural experiences affect employees’ performance.
“A diverse work force often leads to higher creativity, productivity and profitability. Yet diversity can also bring communication and cultural gaps that might hinder these objectives,” said Reg Sobczak, associate faculty member at college’s School of Business Sciences.
Students will learn different strategies for effective communication in a diverse workplace, focusing on verbal communication as well as body language. The course also will cover applicable state and federal laws.
Human relations managers from several local companies will be guest speakers.
Enrollment fee is $39. Registration for the class begins Thursday.
For information, call Sobczak at (714) 459-7078.
