From the supplier: The movement called 'managing diversity' is gaining popularity in Corporate America. Advocates proclaim that managing diversity transcends affirmation action and seeks to remove standards that are biased in favor of white males. They hope that this will give way to workforce organizations that allow equal representation and legitimacy to the cultural norms of all ethnic groups. Despite the high cost of instituting diversity-management programs, an increasing number of companies are signing up because they believe that these would eventually result in positive bottom-line effects. Managing diversity helps solve problems related to employee morale, minority retention and company productivity. Organizations that decide to manage diversity should take note that there are pitfalls, particularly if it is pursued dogmatically and not pragmatically.
