DIVERSITY & YOU Presented by Jacquelyn Thorp-Kinworthy, SPHR-CA/MSHR PART I

Human beings instinctively notice external differences whether they are in height, skin color, lifestyle, or language.

Identifying commonalities may sound easy, but it takes effort beneath the obvious to identify values and needs that reveal shared humanity.
