COR Academy

Summary

COR’s Cultural Awareness training centers on fostering an inclusive culture within the workplace that celebrates differences and encourages employees to build relationships with people from different backgrounds. Utilizing a story-based learning approach, the training engages employees and helps them discover that people can experience the same workplace in very different ways. The key objective is to provide employees with a thorough understanding of their role in creating and promoting a safe and welcoming work environment for both colleagues and the people they support. Nurturing an environment where people feel safe, valued, respected and experience a sense of belonging is the heart of COR’s central purpose.
