  10. The In-Diversity Toolkit Work Research Centre Ireland Isabelle Jeffares

  11. The origins of the toolkit • This toolkit is concerned with the employment of immigrants • The toolkit contains tools to assist employers in the appropriate management of cultural diversity. • The tools were transferred from the DiManT project: e-learning resource on Diversity Management – and wasadapted to shift focus to cultural diversity management. • Targeted towards employers not individuals looking for employment.

  12. Reasons for the Toolkit • Demographic change: increased immigration into and within EU • The benefits: Employers need to be informed about the benefits of employing a diverse workforce. • Employers need to be made aware of the issues: ..in terms of the Individual: • religious differences • culture • beliefs • languages ..and Work related issues: • communications • interpersonal relations • management style

  13. Selecting appropriate tools 1. Consultations were held with stakeholders 2. Focus groups were held with experts 3. Two questionnaires were completed about what the toolkit should contain

  14. Selecting appropriate tools The participants involved included experts in: • Immigration • Intercultural issues • Management of cultural diversity from public administrations, employers organisations, trade unions • NGOs • Immigrants associations • Feedback received in these consultations led to identification of the important areas/issues involved in the diversity management process. • The tools were selected based on feedback received from these experts.

  15. Toolkit amendments • Examples of recommendations from the focus groups participants included: • Simplify the toolkit • Tailor it for SME’s • Include content-related material • Managers need training to implement effective diversity management projects.

  16. Who is the toolkit for? • All companies: public and private organisations of all sectors. • Large or small organisations; many tools adaptable for use in SME’s.

  17. Aims of the toolkit 1. To benefit employers and employees in the workplace Employee benefits: • Income, status • Social inclusion • Health and wellbeing. Employer benefits: • Compliance with the law • Increasing the creativity and adaptability of the workforce • Improved quality of service and potentially increased profits. 2. To increase participation of immigrants in the labour market 3. To ensure the best diversity management practice in organisations by training employers 4. To be adaptable for use in both large and smaller organisations

  18. Structure of the toolkit The tools are organised according to five major phases: • Phase 1 - Getting started • Phase 2 - Needs and problem analysis • Phase 3 - Organising solutions • Phase 4 – Implementation • Phase 5 - Monitoring and evaluation • For each activity under each phase, a set of tools are recommended.

  19. Phase 1 – Getting started • The following slides illustrate two separate activities and their tools from the Getting started phase: Canvassing support and Setting up the project team…
