Bush spoke those words amongst a crowd of people in Florence, South Carolina several years ago, he probably had no idea that it would one day be put on a list called The top 25 Bushisms of all time -- and it wouldn’t even be #1. As a politician, no matter how inconsequential your position may seem, you are constantly under a microscope being looked at by your peers, your employers, and the media.

I think it’s pretty common for people to picture a Caucasian male with a suit and briefcase when picturing someone with some high end cooperate job. We used to be able to blame this on the fact that many different races weren’t getting the same level of education. In these days, with everyone getting equal opportunities in education and more diversity in higher educational institutes, there should be no reason that races aren’t represented more equally when it comes to white collar jobs. Many studies have shown that more diverse economies make for much stronger ones. When businesses can accept the nation’s ever changing demographics, they obtain a more diverse and inclusive workforce which benefits them economically.

As companies become more diverse in the work field employees are getting harder to manage and understand. One issue in the global market today is workplace diversity. Workplace diversity is defined as all characteristics and experiences that defined each employee as individuals, but it can also be misunderstood as discrimination against employees.

Men, women, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals, people of color, and young and old individuals all bring their own diversity. America is filled with diverse individuals. Along with this increase of diversity in the nation, there is an increase of diversity in the workforce. The workforce is becoming more diverse throughout the years, and HRM needs to figure out how to manage the diversity. If diversity is not managed correctly, HRM can face negative media and potential lawsuits. Diversity impacts HRM because if it is managed correctly, it can prove to be the strength of a company and if managed incorrectly it can lead to discrimination issues. If diversity has been the strength of America, it can become the strength of the workforce as well.
