Organizational Culture - Commitment 9

 

The Commitment:

Enroll one or more leaders in the Bow Valley Intercultural Competency Facilitator Training Program.

Why This Commitment?

One of the first steps to creating a diverse, inclusive, resilient workplace is to train key leaders in the skills they’ll need to guide and support your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) journey. Commitments 9 & 10 are designed to support that skill development.

The Bow Valley ‘Intercultural Competence Facilitator Training Program’ will help build intercultural and anti-racism awareness and competence in your organization from the inside out. In addition to intercultural knowledge, awareness, and skills, the training includes facilitation techniques to help share that knowledge throughout your organization, reducing reliance on external training programs.

How To Complete This Commitment (Evaluation Plan)

To complete this commitment:

  1. Enroll at least one workplace leader (from Human Resources or Senior Management) in one of the two training sessions offered before October 2022 (see Resources for details).

  2. Ensure that assigned leaders:

    • Attend at least 90% of live (online) program sessions

    • Complete all program assignments

    • Facilitate internal training using information from the program by September 30, 2022, or develop and share an action plan to share lessons from the program with the rest of your team.

In October 2022, BVIP will ask to see a Certificate of Completion of the Intercultural Competence Facilitator Training Program. We will ask you to show us that an internal training session was held, or an action plan developed to share lessons from the program with your team.
