Explain why a diversity audit is important.

As we have discussed throughout the past six weeks together, ensuring workplace diversity should not only be considered when recruiting, but also when creating any policy, procedure, strategy, or goal for an organization. Before you begin responding to this forum discussion, ensure that you have thoroughly read Chapter 1 in the ILO (2015) book, which can be found in your Required Readings.
