QUESTION 18 OF 31

University Hospitals holds diversity as one of our core values. How do you approach handling diversity in people, thought, experiences and perspective in your work?

To really nail down your answer to this question, think about the factors in which University Hospitals consider diversity: people, thought, experiences and perspectives and think about how you consider these things during your workday with both colleagues and patients. Speak to your interviewer as to why you feel a difference in backgrounds leads to difference in thoughts, opinions and overall knowledge and how these things really make a team effort more complete. On the patient side of things, talk about your feelings about diversity and why it is important to you.

"Being born and raised in rural Ohio, I wasn't really exposed to people outside of my own cultural upbringing until I came to college in the Cleveland area. Seeing new perspectives and though processes for the first time in my life in training to be a nurse, my mind was really opened up to a new and exciting world where I was learning from others and they were learning from me. I really feel like I've become a better worker and a better overall person in this diverse atmosphere and I look forward to continuing this in a career with University Hospitals."

Most of my work experience has been with diverse people. I have enjoyed learning about different cultures and another way of thinking. I have respect for them as people, and knowing them has given me an opportunity to grow as a person

Marcie's Feedback

Great! Good answer. Can you provide a specific example or two of times when you worked within a diverse workforce and explain in what way it was diverse and how this helped you to grow and learn? Was there a time when someone else's way of thinking helped you to solve a problem or to change your opinion about something?
