Assignment name: Alsahli- DRP1
Section 1: My own background in diversity, and my current/ future career
I am a supervisor in Broadband department in Saudi Telecom Company. We have to work in groups that have different people from different ages, different languages, and different cultures. Thus we have to work in ourselves to be able to deal with these people and be comfortable while we are working with them. At the beginning, it took time not to feel anxious working with people who are older than you, speaking other languages, and sometimes different accents, and people from different parts in the world with different cultures. Then, the company provided several training programs that helps as to understand each other and be able to produce more.
Section 2: My chosen diversity topic: I love to talk about gender in work groups.
Section 3: My reasons for choosing this topic: I chose this topic to search on it because recently the company I work with opened any department for female employees which is new in our country. Thus when I go back to my work, I will be able to understand how to work with a group that has a different gender for the first time, how it is important to have another gender in a work a group and the effectiveness of different genders in the quality of the productivity.
