Answer to Question of the Week #10

Each week, we post a thought-provoking question for your consideration. Here’s last week’s . . .

Diversity training improves diversity.

a. True (27%)
b. False (73%)

The correct answer is “False.” A recent study by Harvard and others concluded that diversity training alone has virtually no impact on workplace diversity.

So, what does help diversity? The study pointed to four primary mechanisms that have a positive impact: (1) accountability at the top; (2) mentorships; (3) creating a diversity point person or task force; and (4) recruiting frm a wide variety of sources (e.g., minority colleges).

Diversity is far more than a feel-good program. It’s an absolute business necessity. Companies that start taking steps to build a diverse workforce will be ahead of the pack as the war for talent continues to intensify.

Our viewers are now batting a respectable .500 (5 right, 5 wrong) on our weekly questions.

The next one will be coming your way soon. Thanks for your participation!
