You are tasked with examining a
current (within the past 3 years) diversity issue that is prevalent in today’s economy and workforce.
You will choose a U.S. company or organization to research, identify a particular issue that is affecting (pros and cons) the
company, and its apparent approach to managing the potential issues.
Examples of diversity issues can include a lack of minorities and women in leadership, unequal pay, and hiring
discrimination, and examples of well-known companies struggling to maintain diversity include Google, Facebook, Amazon,
and numerous large banks and tech companies. While these examples offer a starting place, you may select an
organization and issue that interests you.
The outline is listed below:

demographic makeups have affected this issue or issues. List one to five factors of a potentially problematic issue.
