Hello Alicia,

Cultural competency is indeed an important aspect that needs to be promoted within the organization. indeed, the acquisition of the awareness, knowledge, and skills in deal with the cultural challenges helps in ensuring that there is the promotion of cultural competency. The organization promotes cultural diversity through recruitment of the employees from diverse cultures (Danso, 2018). Employees learn these cultures through interactions with colleagues and learning from the seniors who understand and have experience in dealing with the cultural challenges.

When dealing with clients, it is important to engage in diversity and focus on the role of promoting diversity and difference. Understanding the culture of the clients helps in building the trust that is required in the success of the counselling program. It helps in the prevention of the potential barriers linked to cultural differences for example the healthcare practices and beliefs as well as the language barriers. This helps in the removal of the potential biases that might be felt by the clients during the group therapy (Danso, 2018).

Hello Audri,

Due to the variation in the culture of the individuals being care for in the hospice home health, it is important to ensure that there is cultural humility. Social workers do meet clients from diverse cultures, and this is playing an important factor in the success of the counselling process. Therefore, every organization is making an effort to ensure that there is the existence of cultural practice and cultural competency among healthcare providers. The healthcare organizations are also making efforts to train their staffs for example in the areas of multi-lingual workers on the staff and the spiritual; counsellors who know different customs and beliefs of the population that are being served (Danso, 2018).

Hello David,

Inclusivity is indeed an important aspect in the promotion of diversity. Inclusivity in this case is the process of appreciating every person in the organization and accepting their cultures. It is always important to ensure that every person is valued and respecting their uniqueness. The inclusivity is promoted through cultural competency whereby the values, the behaviors, attitudes, and the practice within the organization is respected (Danso, 2018).

In the organization, every person has their uniqueness in terms of the beliefs, language being used, the interpersonal lifestyle, and their behaviors among others. To ensure that there are unity and teamwork within the organization, inclusivity is an important aspect that should be promoted and respected. This is showed by respecting others people's cultures such as the language of communication, values, and their belief. Individuals should be respected regardless of ethnic originality, language, class, age, or religion (Danso, 2018).
