Red Hawk introduces a motivational approach to content information on Cultural Diversity. This is a nationally recognized award winning training program (classroom setting workshop).

Alexander Consulting and Training, Inc developed this award winning training program. Red Hawk, who has been a trainer for A.C.T. for over 14 years and assisted in the development of this program, is now offering this practical skills training model for your organization.

In this training session Red Hawk will teach employees to recognize and respond to inappropriate or illegal situations professionally and with respect. This straightforward video provides practical skills that all of your employees can use to create a respectful and inclusive workplace. Unlike many programs that focus on high-level "strategic" theories concerning diversity and inclusion management, M.E.E.T. on Common Ground is a "ground-zero" tactical approach. By focusing on understanding and communication, this program will teach your employees how to recognize and respond to any situation professionally and with respect. It is perfect for training on diversity awareness, communication, harassment, conflict resolution and variety of other topics.

Red Hawk introduces an easy-to-grasp four-step process that is demonstrated in six timely realistic vignettes. Ultimately, your employees will learn how to "M.E.E.T" on common ground: Make time to discuss, Explore differences, Encourage respect, and Take responsibility.

2. Cultural Competency.

“Cultural Competency is Diversity Awareness at its highest level.”
Debra Alexander of A.C.T., Inc.

The Concept of Competency:
“Cultural competency emphasizes the idea of effectively operating in different cultural contexts. Culture, Cultural Awareness, Sensitivity, and Diversity do not include this concept."

Being COMPETENT in the ability to effectively make decisions and respond to Culture, Awareness, Sensitivity and Diversity within the populations served is the key to understanding what Cultural Competency is all about.”
Red Hawk “A Course in Diversity."

3. OPSEC Training.

In 2006 Red Hawk received a “Certificate of Training” in Operations Security and Awareness by the Interagency OPSEC Support Staff.

Each day in organizations around the world non-secure information falls into the hands of competitors. To most companies OPSEC measures can makes the difference between success and failure. To our military organizations, it’s a matter of life and death. So ask yourself a question. How secure is the information in your organization?

“I don’t care how many security measures you have in place or how much training you do, security starts with people first and understanding the diverse nature of people is the key to Operations Security and Awareness Training.”
