DIVERSIFICATION THROUGH RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION 2
Diversification through recruitment and selection Beach Media is a student run media company at Cal State Long Beach providing business
operations, advertising sales, distribution management, promotional services, creative assistance,
and technology support to CSULB’s student-run publications. The organization is comprised of approximately 50+ employees spanning various departments and levels. However, Beach Media has identified a diversity problem that affects all levels of the organization, particularly in terms of gender, ethnicity, and age representation. This proposal aims to address these diversity issues by evaluating legal solutions and making recommendations for the executive team's approval.
Current Demographic Breakdown:
To analyze Beach Media's current demographic breakdown, data was collected on gender, ethnicity, and age. This data provides a comprehensive understanding of their workforce composition, ultimately guiding strategies for creating an even more inclusive and representative
work environment. Demographic data for Beach Media was not publicly published, their organizational directory was hence used which provided the required demographic data of their fairly small human resources. This data will serve as a foundational resource for future initiatives
aimed at promoting diversity and fostering a sense of belonging among all employees. The following visuals represent their demographic data:

DIVERSIFICATION THROUGH RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION 4
Interpretation of Data
The data highlights that Beach Media's diversity percentages do not closely align with the
local population, as indicated by the United States Census Bureau data. Factors impacting these disparities may include recruitment practices, unconscious biases in selection, and a lack of targeted outreach to diverse communities. Critical factors to consider include ensuring compliance with employment laws and creating a more inclusive workplace culture before steps are taken to change the demographics of the organization.
Comparison of data with US Census:
There are several factors impacting these disparities, in terms of age since the nature of the business indicates that it is a media outlet run specifically by students, it clearly explains why
majority of the employees are under 30 (College Factual, 2023). The data from the census website for Long Beach in the 90815 zip code also reveals that over 53% of the population in the
age range of 25 to 30 pursues and attains a bachelors degree which also indicates that the students working at Beach Media are under 30 (Bureau USC, 2023). In terms of Gender, the census revealed that in the education instruction setting females consisted of 72.5% and in the media and entertainment occupations females had a 58.2% majority (Bureau USC, 2023). Ethnically, Beach Media has a majority of white people, according to the Census the median household income of white householders in the vicinity was an estimate $113,495 whereas one of the lowest ethnicity found in the company was Asians who has an estimate household income of $89,671. Since education is expensive and the organization only hires students studying on the
campus, it makes sense that the ethnicity with the highest household income is more in population on campus compared to other ethnicities.

Ernst & Young, historically considered an accounting and consulting firm, transformed itself into a global professional service company known as EY. To be a successful global professional services organization, EY’s client-facing employees must understand how to apply their knowledge, skills, and behavior to increase margins and provide great customer service. Existing training programs at EY addressed these areas but the emphasis they received differed across the U.S. and global locations. As a result, EY decided to create one training program for all EY employees that would provide a consistent understanding of margins and great customer service. To identify the knowledge, skills, and behavior to include in the new program, EY conducted virtual brainstorming sessions.

THE PRISON SERVICE
The prison service provides an excellent example of the complexity of stakeholder requirements, to some extent reflecting the mixed task it faces.
Society requires the service to carry out potentially conflicting activities:
● to ensure that ‘dangerous criminals’ are locked up for the safety of society
● to provide a regime that will punish wrongdoers as a means of payment for their crimes
● to support inmates, providing counselling and training to rehabilitate and reform them, to reduce the likelihood of re- offending.
The principal stakeholders and their requirements are as follows:
● Government ministers with responsibility for the prison service will be concerned to fulfil manifesto promises while meeting spending targets. At the same time they will be concerned about stories of prisoner escapes or drug abuse that may be damaging to their personal reputation, possibly forcing their resignation.
● Prison governors will seek to provide an appropriate…
