During one interview, she noticed that the

16、candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect rsum and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy, so she decided to offer the job to her s

17、econd choice. “It wasnt until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person, Tiffany confesses. What she hadnt known at the time of the interview was that the candidates “different behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-Ame

18、rican raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural, Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.Many of us have had similar encounters with be

19、haviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who

20、 can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.“During my Mindsets coaching sessi

21、on, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool th

22、at we were able to say in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias, he recalls. “I learned I had

23、 not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences. In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a management position open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automati

24、cally assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and

25、not travel. Dales assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organizations ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the

26、full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision. Dale credits the workshop, “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a ma

27、jor lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year. In my ignorance, I assumed he had his dates wrong, as the first of January had just passed. When I advised him of

28、this, I gave him a tong talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.“He patiently waited, then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off, not the Western New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin January first, and that Chin

29、ese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from cultu

30、re to culture.“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with toy employees, rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all, Doug admits. “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how

31、to be more inclusive to differences.A Better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales. “Most of my customers speak English as a second language. One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasnt unti
