Diversity in Organizations

Types of Organizations

Multicultural - The organizational culture values differences.

Plural - Has a diverse workforce and takes steps to be inclusive and respectful of differences, but where diversity is tolerated rather than valued.

Colorblind – Disregards cultural differences, and emphasizes assuming a unifying, superordinate identity

Monolithic – homogeneous

Colorblind Ideology at Work

“We are committed to creating an inclusive environment – one that is progressive, flexible, and values the individualcontributions of all of our people.”

– Ernst &Young

Effects of Colorblind Approach

• Dominant model for diversity in mainstream American culture (Plaut & Markus, 2007)

• Perceived as inclusive for majority group members (i.e., Whites) not minorities

• Perceived to devalue racial differences, frustration and conflict ensues in organizations (Chrobot-Mason & Thomas, 2002)

Multicultural Ideology at Work

“Will diversity ever be “finished” at Deloitte? Will there ever be a day when we interact with each other in total disregard to race or ethnicity? We hope not. Diversity is not about erasing differences – it’s about benefitting from

them.”

– Deloitte

Effects of Multicultural Approach

• Organizations employ strategies to emphasize diversity

• Perceived as inclusive of minorities (i.e., African Americans) but not non-minorities (Mannix

& Neale, 2006; K. M. Thomoas, 2008)

• Produces skepticism and resentment on the part of some groups (i.e., Whites) (Plaut, Sanchez-Burks,

Buffardi & Stevens, 2007)

Toward an All-Inclusive Workplace(Stevens, Plaut & Sanchez-Burks, 2008; Purdie-Vaughns, Steele, Davies & Crosby, 2006)

• Communication and Language

– Select words in organization’s diversity materials (e.g., mission statement, corporate brochures) that communicate inclusion of all employees (not just minorities)

• Organizational Structures and Policies

– Create diversity task forces, councils, and resource groups that include minorities and nonminorities

Toward an All-Inclusive Workplace(Gaucher, Friesen & Kay, 2011; Apfelbaum, Pauker, Sommers & Ambady, 2010;

Armstrong, Flood, Guthrie, Liu, MacCurtain & Mkamwa, 2010; Castilla, 2015)

• Recruitment, selection and promotion transparency

– Monitoring and public reporting of hiring practices and salary rates creates accountability

– Regular reviews of hiring, mentoring and promotion criteria to ensure fairness and equality

Diversity-Related Problems, Proposed Solutions and Policy Recommendations

(Galinsky, Todd, Homan, Phillips, Apfelbaum, Sasaki, Richeson, Olayon & Maddux, 2015)Problem Proposed Solution Example Policy Recommendations

Group homogeneity may breed narrow

mindedness, groupthink

Increase diversity in groups to spur

deeper information processing and

complex thinking

Policies that ensure work groups are

diverse in various dimensions (i.e., race,

gender, age)

Biased recruitment, selection and

promotion procedures prevent a diverse

workforce

Reduce explicit and implicit bias and

increase opportunities through

accountability and transparent

procedures and reporting

Recruitment policies that promote the

accurate description of qualifications but

eliminate language that can dissuade

members of underrepresented groups

from applying

Diversity can increase resistance,

mistrust, and conflict

Promote inclusive multiculturalism and

perspective taking to make effective use

of diversity

Policies that ensure that mentorship

programs are inclusive by stressing the

need to support both minority and

majority groups

The Millennial Story

The Discussion About Millennials

Recruiting Millennials

On-boarding Millennials

Managing Millennials

Millennials in the Leadership Pipeline

Putting Millennials In Charge


• The most critical aspect of integrating Millennials is the

quality of relationship between managers and Millennials.

• The greatest asset you have acquired as a company is

knowledge and it is your biggest investment. Tacit knowledge

is only transferred through relationship. Competitive

advantage will result from successfully transferring knowledge

from one generation to another.

• The people with the most responsibility in an organization

have to be the first to adapt.

• My work is to move the discussion about Millennials to how

to create an engaging work environment.

Working with Millennials

• Primarily offspring of the Baby

Boomers generation

• Current ages range from 14 to early

thirties

• Teamwork has been emphasized

throughout their lives

• They have greater access to education

So what’s a Millennial?



• 1 in 4 comes from a single-

parent home

• 3 in 5 have working mothers

• Most ethnically diverse

generation

• Closer to parents than

previous generations

So what’s a Millennial?



• They are environmentally conscious

• They desire a customer-centric

experience and won’t dial a 1-800

number to get it

• They are brand loyal

• They want their brands to court them

(coupons, etc.)

• They want to be involved in how products

are created for them

• They influence the consumer behavior of

their parents

• They expect brands to give back to

society

Millennials As Consumers

largest generation in U.S. labor force in

Key difference #6



Overcoming The Bias of Experience

• The way “I” or “we” did it is the blueprint for everyone else

• Excuses leaders from the adaptive work they need to do

• Leaders who cannot suspend the bias of their experience fail to ask

themselves questions like:

• Why am I bothered by their behavior?

• What threats do Millennial values represent?

• How will I need to change?

• Socio-political events


Organizational Bias

• Career advancement

• Organizational structure

• The bias about “voice”

• “It drives me nuts how they come in and immediately start criticizing what we

have been doing.”

• “Isn’t there an unspoken rule that you have to be here a couple of years

before you can talk in a meeting?”


What Bias May Hinder An Organization’s Future?

• Policies?

• Work/Life Fusion

• Feedback Process (Reviews)

• Job Rotation

• Organizational Culture?

• Procedures?
