Human Diversity in Organizations, a Hidden World of Opportunity
Sep 19, 2009
Diversity appreciation is Powerful! Are you tapping into the quiet murmur of thoughts that each person has stored within the mind? Those who can see through the visible... can achieve the impossible.
As a seasoned Diversity and Inclusion practitioner for a Fortune 100 company, who has lived & traveled in several countries and continually engages in the marketplace with Diversity related issues, I see good inclusionary practices by many… on the surface. The end results however, indicate that all too often noble objectives fall short of leveraging the inherent contributions of most leaving a quiet brooding behind, or subpar productivity gains.
Government and Business entities both espouse Diversity and Inclusion policies to foster goodwill and equal representation. These guiding principles are meant to bring a spirit of universal unity and cooperation. Instead however, they are perceived by some as victories for their respective constituents and others view them as forced compliance measures.
