Developing Cultural Competency Through a Multicultural Lens

Abstract

Cultivating an inclusive culture requires a top-to-bottom examination and investigation of diversity and inclusion organizational practices. The organization must attempt to mitigate and react to bias, implicit bias, and micro-aggressions. The bedrock of organizational culture includes social variables, intersectionality, disability, multicultural counseling competencies, and advocacy. These principles are drawn from moral ideas and theories of what it means to embed a diversity culture. Likewise, organizations must execute cross-cultural connections. Consequently, organizations must provide leadership and financial and human resources to achieve a culture of diverse thoughts, ideas, and most importantly, people.
