Needs Assessment

We provide a set of on-line survey instruments that help us define the training and education needs of the company. Some questionnaires are administered before training begins as we design a customized training program for the organization while others are administered at the beginning of a training session so that trainees appreciate their own understanding and biases with regard to the topic. Each instrument includes the background information necessary to understand it, use it and interpret it. The following are brief descriptions of the instruments that we use to define the baseline before training begins:

The evaluation instruments include:

1. Diversity Awareness Assessment: This instrument is used to open a diversity training seminar and it measures general and business-related knowledge about issues pertaining to gender, race, disabilities and culture.
2. Cultural Profiles:
   • Cross-Cultural Interactive Preference Profile: Measures the individual's facility in cross-cultural situations when dealing with people whose concepts of time, socialization etc., are different from their own.
   • Cultural-Context Inventory (The Effects of Culture on Behavior and Work Style): This inventory sheds light on the individual's own culturally-based behavior and that of others, with regard to factors such as association, interaction, time orientation and learning.
   • Attitudes Towards Women as Managers:This instrument was developed to help people understand their attitudes toward women as managers and how those affect their behavior.
3. Sexual Harassment Survey:This instrument explores gender differences in perceptions of sexual harassment.
4. Assessment of Workplace and Personal Attitudes towards HIV/AIDS:This questionnaire measures an individual's personal attitudes to HIV and AIDS and assesses the person's perceived risk of being infected or affected by HIV and/or AIDS.
