Diversity And Black History Month

I'm stealing this post from a blog that I read daily: Ephphatha. I thought it was very fitting for Black History Month.

Basically, there are four levels of diversity in the workplace:

Compliance: This means your employer does enough to keep from getting sued.

Cosmetic: Collard greens in the cafeteria during Black History Month and Pinatas in the lobby during Hispanic Culture Month.

Cultural: This means your company is actively pursuing a diverse workforce, with set goals and management accountability

Comprehensive: The Holy Grail of diversity: your company is diverse from the rootie to the tootie, from the corner office to the cleaning people. And it shows in the bottom line.
