SOLUTION 1:

Diversity is essential in a working environment. As healthcare workers, we see many different cultures daily, so having representation in employees is crucial for patient comfort. Diversity allows for acceptance and respect of the differences that make everyone unique . While filling out my diversity profile I was surprised to see that it is mostly homogenous as almost every box in the Caucasian category ended up checked. I luckily still have a diverse group of friends and colleagues, but this tool highlighted how majority of the other people in my life are homogenous. These findings will allow me to be more culturally aware when I am working with different ethnic groups…….KINDLY CLICK ON THE PURCHASE LINK BELOW TO ACCESS THE ENTIRE SLOUTION FOR $5 OR CONTACT US VIA WHATSAPP NUMBER +254721652000
