There has been an explosion in the number of Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) appointments, CEO statements championing diversity, and coverage in both the business and mainstream media. The rising tide of U.S. and global diversity is rapidly changing the social and workforce landscape in ways that even the most skeptical can't ignore anymore. We're seeing more cases where work is being digitally disseminated across the globe, and as the offshore numbers grow, so does employee power.
In the workforce, large and small companies are grappling with the implications of multicultural work teams. These changes in the representation equation are straining HR programs that had been built around the needs of a more homogenous workforce. The question then for diversity practitioners is how to ensure that this historic opportunity is optimized?
This podcast by Andrés Tapia, Hewitt Chief Diversity Officer and Emerging Workforce Solutions Leader, delves into the concept of embedding diversity into all aspects of your business. Only then can you begin the shift from programmatic diversity to sustainable diversity.
