Contemporary South African Diversity Facilitation Tool and Training Video

"The Morning After the Night Before"

This interactive DVD forms the basis of a contemporary South African conversation about diversity and has been developed as a highly effective, user-friendly tool for facilitators. Train the trainer options are also available.

Diversity and racism/sexism training materials have generally been pitched at the level of less subtle forms of discriminatory or perceived discriminatory/exclusionary behaviour such as racial/gender/religious stereotyping and blatant disrespect.

For many large, international and professional organisations, these training materials and methods are somewhat passé. Many managers - black, white, male, female etc - feel insulted by the level at which many diversity interventions are pitched; either that, or find very little in such interventions which relates to their actual work experience.

The Morning After the Night before: Diversity and Inclusion Training Video

Use this facliatation tool towards three important outputs:

  • The formulation of a plan of action/way of moving forward for natural work groups. In other words, natural work groups would work together to identify their specific diversity management strengths and weaknesses and solutions/ways of moving forward with these.
  • An improvement in personal understanding of both group and individual diversity strengths and weaknesses and ways of resolving these.
  • The facilitation of conversations about diversity issues. Many natural work-groups perceive themselves as lacking the skills to discuss complex, vague or potentially threatening issues. Individuals may also be reluctant to raise issues for a host of reasons, including fear of victimisation; fear of being perceived as spreading 'bad news' or as 'whingeing'; fear that the issues are not relevant to 'traditional' diversity workshops; concern that their ideas are too vague or too personal and apathy because similar interventions proved to be 'flavour of the month' and not sustained.
This workshop is pitched at a level which is transferable to the work context so that conversations can be ongoing and solution-oriented. As such, it aims to kick-start (or revitalise) a process rather than being a 'one-off' intervention. Where 'delegates' or participants do not come from the same natural workgroup, the process can be taken back by them to their natural work-group and used again. Even in organisations which delegates feel have not yet reached 'Best Practice' status, the process can be used to stimulate discussion and debate.

METHODOLOGY

Facilitated and train-the-trainer options are available. However, unlike most other interventions, delegates can also be provided with the materials to facilitate similar conversations within their own natural work-group.

The methodology does not include games or 'tricks'. Its basic premise is that responsible and mature adults can sit down together on a regular basis and converse about issues of current importance and identify (and resolve) those issues which have a negative impact on self-confidence, self-image, motivation, personal growth and development, team dynamics and, importantly, the retention of staff.

DURATION

Minimum 4 hours. For some groups, one day might need to be initially allocated to get to grips with previously hidden or unspoken concerns. Less time is then generally needed for future conversations.

BENEFITS

This process has many potential benefits for both individuals and organisations.

On an organisational level, it assists natural work-groups in their attempts to work effectively together by resolving difficulties which get in the way of feelings of inclusion and support and hence lead to demotivation and resignation. This point should not be underestimated: research in organisations highlights the crucial role played by 'diversity' culture and opportunities for career development in both the retention and motivation of key personnel.

The process can also improve the relationship between natural work-groups, teams or departments.

For the individual, the process has three important outputs:
  • a better understanding of the impact of one's own conscious and unconscious behaviours, communication patterns and assumptions on other team members (and the opportunity to change these),
  • a better understanding of the impact of other's behaviour on oneself through the opportunity to share experiences and discuss their impact,
  • an opportunity to relate one's own experiences and listen to those of others and also to identify relevant individual and group solutions to these.
USES
  • To create a common understanding of the broad and changing spectrum of diversity issues within natural work-groups and how these impact team relationships, self-esteem, motivation and retention.
  • To ratchet diversity conversations to a level relevant to participants.
  • To revisit of kick-start diversity in organisations where interest in and/or attention to diversity issues appears to be lapsing.
  • To identify and resolve particular diversity issues within natural work-groups.
  • To identify and resolve particular diversity issues between individuals.
  • To identify and resolve diversity issues between teams.
  • Team-building.
  • To introduce an easily-managed process to sustain diversity conversations in the longer-term as an integral part of 'the way we do business' and 'manage our people'

Mining the Talents and Skills of South Africa

Our video, "Mining the Talents and Skills of South Africa" is the video and Action Guide on a 1.44MB diskette simplifies and explains the intricacies of the South African Qualifications Act, the Skills Development Act and the Skills Development Levies Act.

The video draws attention to the fact that the country became a world force purely through mining its precious metals but failed to mine the rich talent and abilities of our people. It then proceeds to illustrate precisely how the three Acts are designed to see that this is done.

Through the National Qualifications Framework, a wide base of qualified and skilled people will be created by giving recognition not only to book or academic learning, but also to experience, ability and life skills. Under the old system, no acknowledgement was ever given to hands-on experience in terms of a qualification. In the medium to long term this will make a major impact on the skills shortage.

Another vital part of this ANCOR package is the way it spells out how the money generated by the Skills Development Levies Act will be used and how companies can get back up to 50% of their contribution in the first year and up to 80% thereafter. For instance, if a company appoints a skills development facilitator registered and approved by a SETA (Sector Education & Training Authority), it can get a grant equivalent to 15% of its levy. If it implants a workplace skills plan it can get a further 20%, and so on.

Presenting these Acts in a simple and unambiguous way has been a major challenge, particularly since an entirely new language has been created. While coming to terms with all the acronyms and initials may be reasonably simple for those in HR, explaining the Acts to a Board, for instance, could well need the aid of this video. It is particularly important that people not in HR can understand the Acts and particularly those having to pay the levies and implement the requirements of the Acts.
