DIVERISTY Managing diversity is about individuals. The concept of diversity represents the belief that people should be prized for their difference and variety. However, diversity often raises controversy and tension. When people think of diversity, the first thing that comes to their minds is ethnicity, race, and gender. Diversity is much broader than that. Therefore, organizations have been searching for diversity in their workplace for years, in order to achieve a particular challenge and to manage circumstances and operational contexts. Many managers find the need for accessing diverse talent and using new ideas and perspectives to obtain economic advantage in the market. However, there is a bigger issue regarding diversity: organizations need to be prepared to develop appropriate systems and management approaches to completely practice diversity. The human resources department of an organization should be the first one to recognize diversity and find the best approaches to work with it in order to not only continue to have it, but also to increase and achieve the organization s goals as well as strengthen the most important assets of the organization, the employees.

The USA and Canada welcomes every year significant numbers of immigrant professionals who have high levels of formal education (Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D.) as well as extensive experience; yet a significant fraction of these immigrants are unemployed or underemployed. The purpose of this book is to help US and Canadian organizations make full use of the significant human capital that immigrants represent. This book will help organizations: • Modify their recruitment and selection process to avoid rejecting culturally different candidates for reasons that are not related to their ability to do the job • Develop and promote culturally diverse employees to ensure that they retain and capitalize on the new ideas that these employees bring Highly- practical the book is divided into two parts:- • The first part focuses on the recruiting process. It takes readers through the recruiting process used by most organizations and examines why cultural differences can throw this process off . The discussion is framed by an introduction explaining what cultural differences are and a description of cross-cultural communication issues and suggested solutions. • The second part examines the retention and promotion of culturally different employees. The turnover of culturally different people is often higher than average and they are proportionately less represented in the higher echelons of large organizations. The work examines the root causes of these issues and proposes solutions that individuals and organizations can implement.

Within the first 30 minutes of the movie there is a scene where Morpheus is asking Neo if he wants to know the truth? Does he want to know about The Matrix? As Morpheus begins to close the dialogue with Neo, he offers him the final opportunity to learn about the Matrix by giving him the choice of taking one of two pills – the blue one or the red one. If he takes the blue one, Neo will go back to his normal life as it was before he met Morpheus. If he takes the red pill, he will then find out the truth of the Matrix! As you may know, Neo took the red pill and found out the truth of the Matrix and that he was the ONE! Now! You may be wondering what in the heck do the Matrix, Neo, Morpheus, red and blue pills have to do with Diversity, Inclusion, and Recruiting? Well, this book is the red pill. It is the truth about Diversity Recruiting, which I now call Inclusion Recruiting. I will get to why I call it Inclusion Recruiting shortly. Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to be involved with numerous projects that involved recruiting diverse talent for various Fortune 500 Companies. I have seen companies have success and failure in those efforts. Those experiences have been as an internal Corporate HR/Recruiting professional, or as an external consultant and advisor. It is a combination of those experiences that have led me to create a comprehensive guide to diversity recruiting in Corporate America. And of course, I will be putting a unique spin on how to ensure your success. The Death of Diversity RecruitingAs you may know, the concept of Diversity has gone through various changes over the last 40 or so years: 1960's – Affirmative Action 1970's – Assimilation and Compliance 1980's – Valuing Diversity 1990's – Managing Diversity Y2k – Creating Inclusion The causes of diversity recruiting death: • Diversity Fatigue • Lack of Understanding • Lack of Accountability • Downturn in the Economy
