According to the World Economic Forum article, “Companies Have No Excuse for ‘Diversity Fatigue,’” companies are investing in diversity programs, but it’s not working. Companies have no excuse for “diversity fatigue,” and “today, just 24 Fortune 500 CEOs are female, three are black, and one is openly gay,” (Tsusaka, 2019).
Assume you are a manager in one of the Fortune 500 organizations. Due to rapid technological changes and the appearance of new market opportunities, the organization is facing upcoming recruitment needs. You are assigned as a lead committee member for the development of new recruitment and retention strategies.
Compose a 700-1000-word committee report for the CEO. Include the following in your report:
- A justification of why the emphasis on diversity and inclusion will better serve the organization’s management principles
- An assessment of how the emphasis on diversity and inclusion could improve organizational goals related to employee recruitment, employee retention, and organizational leadership
- Recommendations for employee training initiatives to support diversity and inclusion
- References from the textbook
