Details:

You are required to identify an organisation and their diversity management practices. Provide brief information about the company- Details like age, industry, areas of operation, number of employees and demographic distribution. You can use an organisation that you are or have worked for or choose an organisation that you can find the relevant information from either online or personal sources. You do not have to use the official name of the organisation if you do not wish to.

  • Identify the diversity initiatives and practices that your chosen organisation have had in place, and structure your essay to address the followingquestions;
  • What diversity management practices do theyhave?
  • How effective have these practicesbeen?
  • Referring back to Thomas & Ely (1996) and Dass & Parker (1999) articles, which of the discussed paradigms do you think the organisation best fitsinto
  • What would you recommend the organisation does to improve their diversity management, andWhy?

Remember, not all organisations, especially some of the smaller organisations would have formal diversity management practices in place. You can either focus on any one dimension of diversity within the organisation for e.g. gender, OR attempt to include multiple such as Age, Ethnicity etc.
