DISCUSSIONS Q1. This week, we discussed three key
areas of training onboarding, diversity, and
harassment.  Has any of these areas been a
priority for training in your organization?  If
so, which one(s)?  Why do you think your
organization considers this training a
priority? Q2. Read the article Two Cultures
Collide Bridging the Generation Gap in a
Non-traditional Mentorship (Merriweather
Morgan, 2013) at http//nsuworks.nova.edu/tqr/vol1
8/iss6/2/  What can organizations learn about
diversity and cross-cultural mentoring from Dr.
Lisa and Miss Bertas story? Q3. The TD tool
this week is theImplicit Association Test
(IAT).  Today's work force is increasingly
diverse.  There are more women, older people, and
more minorities working today, and their
companies are often competing in a global
marketplace.  Blanchard and Thacker (2013)
discuss types of organizational training that
involve dealing with differences.  Some companies
require diversity or cultural awareness training,
while others mandate sexual harassment training. 
Employees who have been given an international
assignment may be required to participate in
cross-cultural training.  A mentor may have a
protégé who is of a different gender or race or
who has a very different cultural background.  An
important part of dealing with differences in the
work place is being aware of our own attitudes
toward people who are not like us.
