Building Cultural Responsiveness
Our Building Cultural Responsiveness program, has been designed for teams who have a significant number of interactions with Indigenous people but also deliver services to people from diverse cultural backgrounds. This program teaches participants how to quickly identify a person’s cultural needs and then adapt their interactions to suit those needs creating improved outcomes and customer satisfaction. Rather than teaching participants to memorise a list of common cultural beliefs, which can often be outdated or inaccurate, our Building Cultural Responsiveness program focusses on teaching participants how to quickly identify the cultural preferences of individuals they engage with and then adapt their interactions in a culturally responsive way. This program modifies and combines elements of our Aboriginal Cultural training and our Leading Diverse Teams program. It uses Aboriginal culture to demonstrate skills and techniques which can then be applied equally to any cultural group. This training teaches your team how building culturally responsive interactions can help improve client engagement, compliance and outcomes.
Our Building cultural responsiveness training programs can now also be delivered remotely using a web-based delivery platform.
