Explain how this policy could be adopted by your current or a past employer.

Option #1: Diversity Without Inclusion?

As we have discussed in the interactive lectures (specifically within Modules 1 and 2), the importance of diversity cannot be underemphasized. Yet, ensuring diversity in an organization involves much more than creating policies and procedures to increase diverse representation in the workforce. For this assignment, do the following:

Outline the benefits of diversity in the workplace through using statistical research, which is timely (published in the last seven years).

In your own words, explain the differences between diversity and inclusion. Then, explain why businesses that develop a diversity policy, but do not ensure organizational inclusion efforts, will experience problems.

Evaluate an organization that has created a strong diversity and inclusion policy/program. Provide a link to this company’s information, for your instructor to review.

Explain the strengths of this policy.

Explain the weaknesses of this policy.

Explain how this policy could be adopted by your current or a past employer.
