Diversity is an asset to organizations, but this does not mean that organizations that are diverse in nature are without problems. In
fact, there are a variety of impacts that diversity can have on an organization (both good and bad). Leaders need to recognize and
embrace the importance of diversity and implement programs for increasing diversity, as well as improve an organization’s culture of
diversity. In relation to diversity, address the following questions:
●Assess how workplace diversity can impact a business (e.g., operations, practices, productivity, and profitability).
●What role does trust and transparency play? How does collaboration and dialogue impact your thoughts on trust in the
workplace?
●Research and discuss an organization that has not had an effective diversity management program, or has had issues with
diversity. What strategy(ies), action(s), or initiative(s) could this organization consider to create a more diverse workplace?
