As we go forward into this century, the workforce
will become more diverse than ever. Today, twenty-five percent of the workforce is part of a
minority, according to the American Workplace Report. Seven years
from now, that number is projected to be between thirty-five and
forty percent
Minorities, women and immigrants have accounted for eighty-five
percent of our country's growth since 1985, with women overtaking
men in management and professional roles in the near future. Organizations
that understand and manage diversity will be ahead of those who
choose to do nothing.
Managing diversity is a business
imperative. To be a successful company or organization, you must
be able to attract, retain and develop top talent. The impact of
fully embracing diversity allows each member of the organization
to fully utilize the skills and creativity of differing perspectives.
The professionals at McDuffey and Associates Diversity Search, Inc., collectively, have over 50 years of
diversity experience in a variety of industries. At Diversity Search, Inc., we believe
that in order to lead the diversity process, it is important to
show our clients that we, as an organization, understand the importance
of diverse talent and the impact on our bottom line. At Diversity Search, Inc.,
we are firmly committed to the total concept of diversity.
If as an organization, you truly value
diversity, you will find it has far reaching consequences, from
the obvious to the subtle. Creating and maintaining a diverse workforce
is an ongoing process that will yield increased profits through
being able to recognize and respond to a diverse customer base with
diverse needs and expectations.
