Workforce Diversity Management: Inclusion and Equity Challenges, Competencies and Strategies (third edition). By: Bahaudin G. Mujtaba
Diversity is a reality of life along with inclusion and equity, and a necessity in today's workplace. Workforce Diversity Management is about increasing one's cultural competency, understanding people as individuals rather than groups, and building productive human relationships in the workplace by focusing on an individual's head, heart, and habits. It requires examining one's own beliefs and values as well as one's personal habits and daily behaviors to learn the skills of dealing appropriately with individuals whose personal beliefs and values may be different.
- Workforce Diversity Management can help professionals and managers deal with today's diverse workforce more effectively, and to attract and retain productive associates in a competitive global economy.
- The book can help managers create an inclusive and equitable work environment where all employees of diverse beliefs and values are respected and treated with dignity.
- The concepts, cases, and exercises are very relevant to today's work environment, and thus can easily fit most diversity management or cultural competency courses, seminars, and employee development workshops.
- The author has used the concepts discussed in this book both nationally and internationally with academic and practitioner audiences to help increase their awareness of diversity and different cultures.
