Organizations are responding to the diverse needs of their employees in a number of different ways. Outlined here are some ideas that might be adopted as a means to introduce diversity. ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL DIVERSITY AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A VISION. TARGETED RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS. SENSITIVITY TRAINING/INFORMATION SEMINARS. One large multi-unit employer, for example, has developed a series of training programs focused on different labor market segments, including older workers, younger workers, and people with disabilities, to ensure that their management team could effectively recruit and retain members of these important labor market segments. Other organizations have also modified their on-going training efforts so that all new and existing managers and supervisors are exposed to diversity training as part of the supervisory training process. ANALYSIS AND CHANGE OF CORPORATE CULTURE. TASK FORCES. US West boasts “resource groups” for American Indian, Asian, black, differently abled, gay and lesbian, Hispanic, Vietnam Veteran, and women employees. These are typical of groups being formed across the country to better enable employers to meet the needs of their employees. HOLDING MANAGERS ACCOUNTABLE. Diversity in the workplace will be with corporate America for many years to come. It is the organization that wishes to remain competitive that will embrace the opportunities of diversity and meet the needs of the Workforce 2020. |
