I T ’ S N O T J U S T A B O U T C O LO R A N Y M O R EDiversity is unarguably a hot-button issue in corporate America. The latest census results substantially con�rm that the ethnic makeup of the U.S. is changing at a rate faster than anyone has anticipated. As a vital part of any thriving organization, what must be understood about Diversity is that it goes beyond color. Diversity is centered around understanding and embracing
each other’s di�erences: The where, why, and how of the way people look at things di�erently.

FORGET TOLERANCE & REMEMBER THIS
“Most companies said a lack of honest criticism toward Diversity programs is what often causes these initiatives to fail.”
“HR professionals need to embrace the uncomfortable conversations that might result from learning to ‘deal with di�erences.’ People shouldn’t be ‘tolerating’ each other; you need to start accepting people. Don’t be afraid to talk about what may or may not be o�ensive. You need to start learning about each
other and start communicating.”
