What diversity and inclusion efforts exist in the organization

Organization: American Airlines

From this topic and your readings, you learned that diversity impacts the bottom line through the use of diversity strategies. As they work across cultures, organizations must integrate these strategies.

How does HR contribute to the organization’s diversity and inclusion strategy? You will analyze an organization’s strategy that leverages diversity and inclusion to compete in the global economy. To do this, you will apply the knowledge you gained from this topic to identify diversity and inclusion efforts within the organization.

Using the organization you choose in Week 1, please include the following:

What diversity and inclusion efforts exist in the organization?

What are the demographics in the organization?

Research the company web site. Is diversity presented? Do you find pictures of employees that represent a diverse workforce? Is there an EEO statement? Does the site describe the organization’s diversity efforts?

Is the organization global? If so, what is HR doing to support expats and implement global best and next practices?

Describe what strategic diversity management is and discuss two strategies that organizations should implement in order to leverage diversity.

Also, discuss how strategic diversity management provides a competitive advantage for the organization.

Use what you learn from your research to make recommendations for improvement. You should have at least three recommendations for improvement.

Write a 4-5 page memorandum to senior leadership that presents your analysis of the organization. Use your readings and research to write the paper.

Requirements: 4-5 page memorandum

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
