Preferred term

diversity programs  

Definition

  • Diversity represents one of the most important topics for managers today. Its primacy stems from various sources, including (1) demographic shifts around the world that correspond with more heterogeneous workforces; (2) changes in the nature and type of work, as well as employees’ attitudes toward work; (3) laws requiring equal employment opportunities for all persons; (4) social pressure for diversity and inclusion; and (5) the realization that employee diversity can meaningfully impact work outcomes.
