Take the IDI®
Does Having Diversity in Your Workplace Feel More Like Drama and Less Like Productivity? Research has found that diverse teams typically perform worse than homogeneous teams do. Why? Because it’s harder to get things done when people don’t see eye-to eye. What makes sense to you, might not make sense to me. Thankfully, this same body of research found there’s more to the story. Diverse teams with moderate to high levels of cultural intelligence outperform homogenous teams on a number of outcomes—productivity, cost-savings, innovation, safety and the list keeps going.
How can I Find out My Level of Cultural Intelligence? Take the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) and learn your stage of cultural intelligence and what you can do to feel freer to talk with just about anyone and help to create a culture where everyone feels valued, heard and engaged.
How do You Create a Culture of Safety and Belonging for Everyone? Cultural intelligence (CI) is what makes the difference. CI provides team members the motivation, understanding, and skills for not only tolerating differences but seeing them as an asset so everyone feels accomplished and connected.
What is Cultural Intelligence? Cultural intelligence is what enables us to be in conversation with a person who has a different perspective or background.
