Diversity Discussion Starters™

PRISM's Diversity Discussion Starter series are 14 carefully constructed, business-related, 45 minute diversity discussions that leaders can utilize with staff during team meetings.

Each of the diversity discussion starters makes for an engaging and job-relevant conversation that position diversity as a continuing critical business issue rather than a one-time training event. The easy-to-follow Meeting Leader's Guide provides managers with scripts for conducting diversity conversations at team meetings. Reproducible worksheets give employees a format for participating in the activities.
