COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

- Did you know that sadly African American parents are now advising their youth to seek jobs in other communities because economics opportunities appear to be limited for people of color in Nebraska?

- Did you know that the public makes decisions on where to take their business based on whether or not a company’s workforce reflects the community it seeks to serve?

- Did you know that employee recruitment, satisfaction and retention are a direct result of a workplace culture where all people feel valued, welcomed, respected and included in all levels of an organization?

- Did you know that emerging new research definitively shows that companies which employ people of color have seen increases in their productivity, performance, development of new products, fresh ideas and profitability … the bottom line?

It has been Inclusive Communities’ long-held belief that organizations that embrace diversity – people from many different classifications – will benefit in multiple ways.  Yet, we also acknowledge that the impact of diversity is paradoxical. While diversity offers great benefits, a workforce representative of many backgrounds also presents challenges. Lack of knowledge and sensitivity, experience with and awareness of different values, attitudes, beliefs and traditions can lead to misunderstanding and tension among various groups. 

However, rather than viewing these challenges as obstacles, Inclusive Communities seizes them as opportunities to strengthen our community through well-researched programs designed to examine and break down the stereotypes, myths and barriers among the divides of race, faith, gender and other diversities - a critical first step in the blueprint for building an inclusive workplace culture that reflects mutual trust, acceptance and respect of all its employees.
