The diversity paradox

Article Abstract:

American corporations have failed to address the individual needs of their employees in their efforts to address the issue of discrimination in employment. The American workforce is becoming increasingly heterogeneous, and companies desiring to provide equal employment opportunities have ended up replacing equality with sameness. Employment laws created for the purpose of eliminating discrimination and providing the means for advancement have become the very same barriers to maximizing the potential of every employee. This diversity paradox can be resolved by broadening the criteria for gauging employee performance, reevaluating corporate strategies in relation to equal employment opportunity objectives and considering the inherent strengths of employees based on their cultural background or gender in recruitment procedures.
