| About the Book
Workforce Diversity Management is about
increasing one’s cultural competency, understanding people as
individuals rather than groups, and building productive human
relationships in the workplace by focusing on an individual’s head,
heart, and habits. Diversity is a reality of life, and it requires
examining one’s own beliefs and values as well as learning the skills
of dealing appropriately with those whose personal beliefs and
professional values may be very different.
• Workforce Diversity Management
can help professionals and managers deal with today’s diverse
workforce more effectively in order to attract and retain productive
associates in a competitive global economy.
• The book can also help managers
create a pleasant work environment where all employees of diverse
beliefs and values are respected and treated with dignity.
• The concepts, cases, and exercises
are very relevant to today’s work environment, and thus can easily fit
most diversity management or cultural competency courses, seminars,
and employee development workshops.
• The author has used the concepts
discussed in this book both nationally and internationally with
academic and practitioner audiences to help increase their awareness
of diversity and different cultures.
