First published in 1991, the Diversity Awareness Profile, commonly
known as DAP, is a self-assessment tool that has helped millions of
individuals in organizations improve working relationships among diverse
co-workers and customers by increasing the awareness of their behavior
toward people and how it affects them and how individual's behavior
affects others.
Now in its second edition, the DAP continues to be grounded on hard
data gathered in a series of focus groups, interviews, and thousands of
diversity training sessions over the past twenty years. This 6-page
assessment can be bought as a stand-alone profile, or with the
fully-revised second edition of the DAP Facilitator's Guide, which
walks facilitators through the process of preparing, administering, and
debriefing the DAP.
The DAP will be a valuable tool that can help your organization:
- start a diversity training program
- improve upon an existing program
- gauge diversity awareness and the necessity of action within your
organization
- transform your diverse workforce from a liability to a strategic
advantage
The DAP will be invaluable to your employees by helping them to:
- become more aware of their behaviors and actions, whether obvious or
subtle
- evaluate and understand how their behavior can affect a person of a
different culture, gender, or ethnic background
- modify their behaviors and find the path toward respect for all people
