Strategies for managing human resource diversity: from resistance to learning
Article Abstract:
There is no single best way for managing human resource diversity. An organization's approach to managing diversity depends on the degree of pressure for diversity, managerial attitudes and the kind of diversity concerned. Organizations can utilize a framework that links executives' perspectives and priorities to effectively manage workforce diversity, performance and organizational conditions. The framework supports the premise that different steps in managing diversity are correlated and can occur simultaneously.
