What do you really know about the foreign-born people you work with? Why did they leave their countries? What are the predictable challenges they will face in the American workplace?

 

 

Watch a sample of Foreign-Born Populations - Asia:
Dim lights   Once you really know your foreign-born team members and understand where they came from and why they are here, establishing a work culture of understanding, respect, and inclusion is possible.

 

The following five videos help us understand who our newcomers are and why they have come to the U.S. in recent years.  Discussion includes the most important economic, socio-political, and environmental factors both in the immigrant-sending countries and in the U.S. that have created the push away from the countries of origin and the pull toward the U.S. We look at immigrant resettlement and adjustment issues, as well as the impact our newcomers have had on the communities in which they live and work.

 


 


Latin America:

This training unit provides a broad overview of immigration from Latin America, with specific focus on groups from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.  Latinos are our country’s largest immigrant group and are predicted to comprise 25% of the total U.S. population by 2050.  The more that your business knows about our Latino newcomers, the greater will be your competitive advantage in the areas of recruitment, retention, and performance.

The Middle East:

Are all Arabs Muslim?  Are all Muslims Middle Eastern? This unit distinguishes Middle Eastern, Arab, and Islamic countries and populations from each other, and pays particular attention to immigrant groups from the Levant (Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Israel), the Arab Gulf, North Africa, and Iran. Never before has it been as important as it is today that we understand who our Middle Eastern newcomers are and why they are in the U.S. If you hire or serve Middle Easterners, you will want all of your managers and supervisors to have this vitally important information as they work to create an environment of trust and respect.

Africa:

What does it mean to be African-American? Today, African immigrants representing many different language and cultural backgrounds are totally redefining the African-American experience. For the first time in our nation’s history, more Africans are coming to the U.S. as immigrants than came to the U.S. during slave trade. In this training segment, we review immigration patterns from across the African continent, and address the intriguing question of how recent African immigrants are impacting the African-American community today.
