The world is on the cusp of change and the future requires leadership. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Virtual Event | 51st Annual Meeting & Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | August 25, 2020 Education-Training Credits: TX HCSSA Administrator/Alternate Continuing Education 1.0 Clock Hr(s) CE Approval Statements:
· This program meets continuing education requirements for Administrators and Alternates under Texas HCSSA licensing regulations. HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][9]community resources Program Description: Identifying the need to be diverse can be eye-opening in multiple ways. Diversity encaptures more than inclusion. Diversity measures our ability to share differences, build relationships, and be creative thinkers. Identifying healthy solutions to diversity requires a deeper understanding of the many definitions available. The workforce is the breeding ground of innovation, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. While training and mentorship expedite professional development, engaging the workforce’s ideas, energy, and insight leads to improved customer experience, faster innovation, and greater retention rates. As efforts increase for diversity positions and initiatives, inclusivity is the foundation upon which culture is built to last. The world is on the cusp of change and the future requires leadership. What role will you play? It’s time to RESET! Program Learning Objective(s): Participants will actively engage in a discussion of diversity and inclusion by identifying biases that contribute to the lack of diversity, list active approaches to defer anger and anxiety, describe effective strategies for managing difficult conversations, explain how communication can reduce conflict and promote positive change, emotions, compassion, and acceptance.
