Diversity at your workplace

[Hillbeans]

At your job, do you have a diversity department or a person in charge of diversity? LOL - it just made me laugh because we used to have a white male in charge. Now we have a black female.

Just curious??

Diversity is one of the biggest agendas with my firm. I guess seeing as how we are a worldwide company, we need to do something.

Oh, or maybe it could be the fear of getting our asses sued that makes the company put so much time and effort into diversity.

Yes we have a diversity coordinator at work, that works with other agencies. Diversity has a pretty big department in my agency.

My company's human resources dept. handles it. We have EOE guidelines and such they are supposed to follow. They do pretty well, over half the staff here are female and we have a good mix of races, nationalities, immagration status etc., even at the higher levels. Every couple of years we have "sensitivity" seminars we all have to go to, so the employees know that the company will not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind. As far as I know, they enforce it, too, although most issues are confidential, the rumor mill backs up the companies claim of zero tollerance.
