Recent Statistics about Workplace Conflict
Recent studies reported in Human Resources (HR) Magazine show that managers and business leaders spend 25 to 42% of their time dealing with conflict. Conflict within the workplace and in commercial settings can prove to be stressful and particularly costly for organizations and individuals. Issues related to employee/employer problems, disputes between merchants and suppliers, and conflicts among business executives can often lead to expensive and time-consuming litigation and loss of valuable, professional relationships and business agreements. The hidden costs of conflict include unproductive work time, increased attrition, decreased engagement, employee theft, reduced workplace motivation, higher health-related expenses, and lower workplace attendance.

Teaching Diversity and Inclusion Through Storytelling and the Arts
Here is the response to this exciting diversity program from a recent client: "Let me express my appreciation for Diversity in Motion performance at our Conference in Atlanta. Your diverse talents provided an entertaining Message with a wallop. Your improvisational skits relating to ideas from the audience showed true genius. The employees who attended the conference clearly resonated with your message of unity and caring among all people."

As we break down the barriers of habitual belief systems- those comprised of judgment and assumption, we are truly able to connect with understanding, respect, and compassion. Let us celebrate the richness that diversity brings to our world! The fact is- we can’t survive without it. Vivian Slade, Marquetta Dupree, and Angela Holley comprise the 3-member group.
