Cultural IntegrationAssessment Survey

Moving from TOLERANCE to PRODUCTIVITY

Why Participate? Your Customers! A diverse organization that is able to

manage its cultural differences as an asset is much more likely to appropriately address the needs of its diverse market.

Your Business! In this ever changing and challenging market creativity and innovation are a need and they are more readily available if every worker is achieving his/her maximum potential.

Your Organization! Problems do not go away by themselves, if integration issues are not addressed they may fester, accurate information to tackle them is essential.

Your Image! By supporting and participating in this project your company will project an image of commitment to cultural diversity. Your logo will be in the published results that will be available to the general public!

Timing! By performing this survey simultaneously in many companies the information will be more valuable to each of them. This approach also allows for the price to be way below standard consulting prices.

Why is it important?

Our goal is to collect valid and accurate information on the PERCEPTIONS of:– The non-Hispanic Americans about the Hispanic people

at work– The Hispanic people about work and their vision for the

future of the Hispanic Community in this region

Diversity does not end with hiring people from different backgrounds, it is important to use those talents as an asset to make them translate positively in your bottom line!

Results will be used:

• To determine if the Hispanic Community is integrated in main stream Business America and to what extent

• To prepare programs tailored to address the real gaps between the working Hispanic Community and the employers.

• To identify the variables to monitor this integration during a time span (the next decade) and lead corrective actions

• Pay the chosen level of sponsorship at signature time (Tier I: $9,000, Tier II: $6,000 or Tier III: $3,600)
