Written from an American perspective, the book not only covers the traditional topics of race, gender, ethnicity and social class, but moves beyond this to explore emerging trends around `isms’ (racism, sexism), as well as transgender issues, spirituality, intergenerational workforce tensions, cross-cultural teams, physical appearance stigmatizing, visible and invisible disabilities, and racial harassment. The book:
Presents theoretical models to help students think critically about the issues that emerge from workforce diversity
Includes a historical perspective that explains the roots of the issues in the workplace today
Covers potential legal and ethical issues
Introduces a social justice paradigm to encourage social action
Illustrates strategies organizations are using to leverage diversity effectively
With end of chapter questions encouraging students to engage in difficult conversations, and case studies to stimulate students’ awareness of the real problems and issues that emerge from diversity, this book will help students develop the critical, analytical, problem solving and decision making skills they need to mediate or resolve diversity issues as future professionals.
