Bashen employs a variety of customizable training modules designed to promote positive work environments, increase cultural and diversity awareness, improve management and leadership skills, and enhance business practices.  There are four ways in which individuals learn: visually, audibly, analytically, and emotionally.  However, no two people learn exactly the same way.  Bashen recognizes that all learning styles must be addressed to ensure the success of all participants; therefore, we have created a unique training experience that blends several techniques to deliver key information. Bashen’s interactive training courses may utilize live oration, videos, role-playing, group projects, vignettes, activity worksheets, and questions and answers to create a positive educational environment. 

Bashen’s training curricula are designed to measurably improve the knowledge and skills of employees at every level. 

The workplace increasingly comprises employees with different nationalities, backgrounds and life experiences. Employers and employees need to understand how these differences often call for different communication styles. We will discuss the contemporary definition of diversity, how a diverse workforce positively affects a business’ bottom-line and how best to embrace and manage a diverse workforce.

Preventing claims from being filed is paramount. This session examines how some actions can be perceived as discriminatory to others. Preventative tips and tools will be discussed.

More than ever, businesses need people who demonstrate the ability to adapt to different situations and circumstances. In order to produce the most qualified and diverse workforce it is necessary to reach beyond your traditional forms of recruitment. This session provides a fresh look at the major generators of your organization's applicant pool, and helps you broaden your recruiting horizons.

This workshop covers Employment Law Updates, including Equal Pay Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Age Discrimination Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, Pregnancy Act, Genetic Information and Fair Pay.  Participants will increase their awareness and understanding of organizational EEO policies, explore harassment and inappropriate conduct, learn how to discern between inappropriate and illegal workplace behavior, explore conflict resolution and discuss the difference between diversity and affirmative action.  The goal of this course is to address the liability of “not knowing.”

The session reviews the current and future state of the workplace and how characteristics of generational personalities affect the human capital within an organization.  The workshop discusses the interplay between the four different generations represented in the modern workforce, the World War II Generation, Baby-Boomers, Generation X and the Generation Y (the Entitlement Generation.)   Participants will identify their own values, including their sources and how they connect to behavior, develop strategies to promote and improve workplace awareness and assess the accuracy of their knowledge about different religious practices.  The goal of this course is to transform this knowledge into acceptance and empathy.

This workshop provides a detailed look at various forms of harassment.  Anti-harassment policies typically emphasize the responsibility of employees.  The EEOC defines harassment as unwelcome conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age, disability or genetic information.  A review of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA) will discuss actions in the workplace that may be a form of employment discrimination.  Specific offensive conduct that leads to an intimidating, hostile, or abusive work environment is covered.  Employer responsibilities and liabilities are reviewed, as well as policies designed to protect employers.

This workshop provides a detailed look at various forms of discrimination. Anti-discrimination policies typically emphasize the responsibility of the employer.  An employer's non-discrimination policy, or equal employment opportunity policy, usually covers conditions of employment including job advertisements; recruitment; testing; hiring and firing; compensation, assignment, or classification of employees;  transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall; use of company facilities;  retirement plans, and disability leave;  other terms and conditions of employment; training and apprenticeship programs; or fringe benefits.. Employers should include "gender identity or expression" (or "gender identity") and "sexual orientation" as protected classes, in addition to other federally-protected classes, in non-discrimination policies.

With the goal of building EEO initiatives through proactive measures to resolve disputes at the earliest level, this course reviews various mediation policies and techniques. Facilitative, evaluative and transformative mediation techniques, with the pros and cons of each technique will be reviewed. Participants will gain an understanding of the similarities and differences between alternative dispute resolution, mediation, conflict resolution and arbitration.  The course will review EEO complaint process and conflict resolution, standards of practice and code of ethics, management’s role in the counseling process, advantages of and barriers to conflict resolution and the six steps of Conflict Bridge.
