Diversity And Inclusion Analysis

“Diversity and diverse integration viewpoints into organizations are pertinent in a world of shifting demographic patterns and work practices” (Starlene M. Simons, 2011). Sun Microsystems

I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

One of the objectives that the team discussed was diversity in the workplace. Major corporations have encountered issues concerning diversity in the work place. Our team can directly relate to this subject in the workplace since all of us are diverse minorities in our individual work place. It was discussed in the group that diversity in the workplace is the manager’s responsibility to insure that the workplace is a diverse environment. Managers in most companies are required to hire a diverse staff. Managers have the ability to use race, religion, and tenure as qualities to inspire success and

As we enter the new millenium, diversity in the workforce is rapidly increasing. Businesses and organizations are living up to the great melting pot image the United States has always been popular for. Employees now reflect a diversity of cultural perspectives, ethnic backgrounds, ages, genders, physical abilities, and levels of education. This wave of multiculturalism is here to stay and cannot be ignored. It is in need of attention in order to uphold the well-being and success of businesses and organizations all over the country.

Disparities and inequities are impacting families and communities of color in disproportional rates. The child welfare system is no exception. Solutions are as complex as the issue itself but finding new ways to engage with the families we work with can draw out a more comprehensive understanding of the issues and concerns they face.

Diversity has been a hot-button topic for many of today’s companies. Diversity programming and initiatives are regularly implemented by organizations of all types and sizes. As it relates to an organization’s human resources operation, diversity will continue to be an ever-changing term as the work towards equitable treatment for all continues.

Working teams that are diverse in their make-up are able to come up with a wider range of solutions to business problems. Inclusive workplaces that openly communicate their values and strategies on equality, human rights and inclusion are capitalising on this as they are able to attract a wider pool of applicants and talent. Candidates from minority groups may be put off applying for positions in organisations that do not make their commitment to inclusion known.

In this week’s integrated article, review, I am focusing on diversity at the workplace. This is a topic very relevant and important for any organizations success. Diversity at the workplace refers to any characteristic that makes people different from one another.

An environmental innovation that has been introduced to the sport industry is the division of Diversity and Inclusion. In 2014, The Atlanta Hawks were in the middle of a crisis when the former Hawks’ owner, Bruce Levenson, email was leaked obtaining controversial topics regarding race and class. To counteract the damage the organization sustained from the leaked email, the Atlanta Hawks created the Diversity and Inclusion division, which Ms. Nzinga Shaw took office as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer--the first in the NBA. Ms. Shaw along with her division of diversity and inclusion are making sure that the Hawks, as well as influencing the entire league, to welcome and incorporate stakeholders who encompass different races, genders, and

Rachel is a Native American woman who attended a top-tier law school. She graduated in the top 5% of her class and is now partner at a large law firm. When Rachel had her second child a year ago, she went part time at the law firm. She continues to stay abreast of the changes in her practice area, antitrust law, often writing articles and speaking on CLE panels. She also continues to mentor young associates at her firm. One of Rachel’s past clients is considering adding the firm to his company’s preferred provider list. However, the client doubts the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion given the paucity of women and minority associates and partners. He often tells Rachel that law firms must understand the “business case” for diversity. He adds that a firm’s lack of women and minority attorneys is a factor in deciding whether to add a firm to his company’s preferred provider list. Rachel has been

I immersed myself into Northwestern’s current state of diversity. I interviewed various employees and received valuable feedback regarding diversity in the organization’s culture. Additionally, I gained greater insight from a human resource representative. This person has acknowledged the organization has failed to implement a successful plan in the past. During my experience, I gathered three (3) key influencers that make diversity work: 1. train and hold managers accountable with the expectation that prevention and adherence to the policy is their responsibility. 2. implement and integrate a zero tolerance policy. 3. Requiring mandatory diversity training for all employees. The bottom line, be proactive in creating and implementing diversity initiatives and policies. It will have a great return on Northwestern’s investment. With this being said, the immersion experience changed my perspectives for the better. Initially, my personal views of the organization were multifaceted. I fought hard to instill a more diverse workplace within the organizational culture. Northwestern Medicine is the second largest healthcare corporation in the Chicagoland area with no minorities in executive leadership; I find this disturbing. In the final analysis, my thoughts regarding this organization has changed some but not significantly. However, after much scrutiny and employee persistence, CultureVision diversity initiatives will be reestablished. I learned how to incorporate my objectives for affective and personal development. In essence, diversity surrounds us every day. We as individuals, can make small changes in our behaviors to fully realize the advantages of diversity, so whether at work or in the community we can better learn from and innovate to make the world a better

I found the concept of being diversity-supportive to be the most important concept of Module 6. I think it is the most important concept in this module because in each part of being diversity-supportive, we are taking an approach that is not only the right approach to take with every individual, but the right approach to meet organizational goals and lead highly effective teams. Because being diversity-supportive means acting proactively, the concept is leadership-driven, it encourages ownership of initiative, promotes thinking inclusively, and has the goal to mainsteam diversity, we can see it really boils down to two things: getting to know people so we can anticipate their needs, wants, and pitfalls; and removing barriers to every individual succeeding to the maximum extent of their ability.

The purpose of this article is to first understand the policies related to racial diversity. From that point, it analyzes the possibilities to restructure these campus policies to incorporate Asian Americans as an equity manner. Different experiences for Asian Americans in higher education through the years are interesting as a diversity point of view. Asian Americans students have access to financial aid and other social service during their staying in the United States. In addition, they also face several limitations to these services that make many investigators as well as people related to education to misunderstand the range of Asian American students’ experiences. Participation and perceptions from these students were critical to shape and give a specific pattern to current practices, and policies will be benefit for both

The word diversity represents a large group comprised of different people with different experiences. These differences include race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status or citizenship. However, “diversity” does not address how these different people function or work. Inclusion enables us to strive to have all people represented and make all members, partners and employees feel welcomed and valued, not only for their abilities, but also for their unique qualities and perspectives. The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique,
