Achieve True DIVERSITY
in Today’s Culturally
Blended Society
What Is It?
Diversity?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
the majority of people in the U.S will
identify as people of color within the
next 40 years. Statistics from the U.S.
Dept. of Commerce show the minority
business community is growing at
twice the rate of the general business
population.

and providing a climate conducive to contributions
from people of diverse backgrounds) will experience
better financial performance in the long run than
organizations which are not effective in managing

Challenges
Diversity_Inclusion_TheChazinGroupLLC
“A study of 700+ US companies found that implementing
diversity training programs has little positive effect and may
even decrease representation of black women. Most people
assume that diversity policies make companies fairer
for women and minorities, though the data suggest otherwise.
Even when there is clear evidence of discrimination at a
company, the presence of a diversity policy leads people
to discount claims of unfair treatment. In previous research,
we’ve found that this is especially true for members of
dominant groups and those who tend to believe that the
system is generally fair. In another set of experiments, we
found that diversity initiatives also seem to do little to convince
minorities that companies will treat them more fairly.”
Tessa Dover, Cheryl Kaiser, Brenda Major

Yourself
Reach Out: Infuse talent from other areas (marketing, finance,
logistics, etc.) and bring those disciplines to focus on HR issues like
employment value proposition, options-based leadership
development, optimized talent supply chains and risk-optimized
performance management.
Venture Out: Exert influence beyond traditional role of functional
specialist, through direct interactions with constituents like
government, regulators, investors and global collective movements.
Seek Out: Find and bring forth for discussion unpopular or unstated
facts or assumptions that can be debilitating if not addressed. Such
hidden assumptions are often first visible among employees, and HR
is in a position to “sense” them early.
Break Out: By leading transformational change. HR is uniquely
positioned to be the repository of principles and skills for creating
change-savvy and agile organizations.

  • 31. Reach Out: Infuse talent from other areas (marketing, finance, logistics, etc.) and bring those disciplines to focus on HR issues like employment value proposition, options-based leadership development, optimized talent supply chains and risk-optimized performance management. Venture Out: Exert influence beyond traditional role of functional specialist, through direct interactions with constituents like government, regulators, investors and global collective movements. Seek Out: Find and bring forth for discussion unpopular or unstated facts or assumptions that can be debilitating if not addressed. Such hidden assumptions are often first visible among employees, and HR is in a position to “sense” them early. Break Out: By leading transformational change. HR is uniquely positioned to be the repository of principles and skills for creating change-savvy and agile organizations. “OUT” Yourself www.workforce.com/articles/20179-what-is-the-future-of-hr
