Diversity management is defined as “the strategy of using best practices with proven results to find and create a diverse and inclusive workplace”. (Diversity 101)

The three best practices that I chose are employee resource groups, webinars from the top 50 companies, and in-depth interviews with top executives.

Having employee resource groups implemented within a company can be very beneficial. The four main reasons that comapnies should have employee resource groups are: recruitment, retention, talent development, and market outreach. For recruitment, resource groups can attend job fairs and even look in to college graduates who are looking for work right out of college. Retention is always important, especially when it comes to the health care industry. It’s important to keep the employees for a long time and not to have a ’revolving door’ when it comes to how long employees are staying with a company. Talent development, when it comes to health care, is very important. When working in the healthcare industry, everything is always changing, wether that means medication, procedures, and treatments. This industry is always changing and keeping employees up-to-date with training and seminars is always needed. Market outreach is not quite as crucial in the healthcare field, but can still play a role in resource groups.

Webinars are a great example of training that is cheaper and doesn’t require a person to have to travel in order to learn from the training/information. Webinars from the top 50 companies in diversity can help with learning what makes their companies so successful when it comes to making sure they are recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. Being able to learn as much as possible from them in order to put certain practices in place within our own company.

And lastly, I picked in-depth interviews with top executives. Sometimes knowing what has worked or what hasn’t is the best practice in going forward with certain aspects of maintaining diversity in a company and the best way to find out and learn about this is with top executives who have been in the company for awhile. ........Comment on this article agreeing or disagreeing with it.
