Module 2 – Discussion

Diversity and Inclusion

In this discussion, respond to the following questions:

1 Learn which employers are the top 50 companies for diversity in 2018 according to Diversity Inc. Select one of the companies listed on the Diversity Inc. list. Refer to that company by name. Research its diversity and inclusion initiatives.

2 Compare and contrast the company’s diversity and inclusion efforts with those of your own organization or another one with which you are familiar. Discuss what one or both of these companies say formally about the importance of inclusion of diverse groups. Do you think they walk their talk? Why?

3 Examine the equal employment opportunity (EEO) efforts and/or affirmative action efforts of your own company or another one with which you are familiar. What does this company say formally about those efforts? Are those efforts the same or different than its diversity and inclusion efforts? Why?

Support your initial response with information from at least two reputable sources (library and/or Web-based) and provide the full citation at the end. Use APA format for your references.
