Diversity in the workplace is a wonderful thing – but it also challenges many of today’s government employees

who are in leadership positions. For managers and team-members alike, it can be difficult to navigate in a truly

diverse workplace made up of people of different cultures, races, creeds, body types, hobbies, genders, religions,

styles, generations, sexual orientations, and personalities. But understanding our cultural and social differences is a

major key to a high-performing, merit-based work environment.

And we all must actively have EI onboard to be our best

in all that we do.

It is you that defines who you are.
