South Africa is famously known as the ‘Rainbow Nation’. We are home to a fascinating mix of citizens.

South Africa is a melting pot of various cultures, races, languages and religions.

There are also hybrid mixtures of different cultures, and an overarching South African culture which ensures that, no matter what a person’s cultural heritage, we are, at heart, proudly South African.

Indeed, as South Africa’s democracy evolves, it is becoming a more diverse but integrated country and cultural diversity continues to be one of its strongest challenges.

This is especially true of the workplace – where we work every day is a microcosm of the country’s rich diversity. Because of the highly diverse workforce in South Africa, organisations know that they must help employees understand, accept and capitalise on differences among people.

This course will enable employees and employers alike to respond to workplace diversity issues with openness and trust.
