Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is multidimensional. It includes internal dimensions such as age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and physical ability, and external dimensions, such as education, income, religion, geographic location, and other factors. As leaders, our perspectives on diversity are often framed and informed by our culture, life experience, education, profession, and workplace. The definition and scope of diversity vary across industries, types, and sizes of enterprises and countries. As the leader, it is incumbent upon you to support and promote inclusion in your organization. Using the organization you created in this module, develop a definition of diversity for your organization.
Compare your definition with four other definitions of diversity.
1. From U.S.-based Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
2. From an international scholarly or business publication
3. From an international non-profit organization
4. From a public organization in your community, state, or country.
Address the following in your paper:
· Provide the four definitions of diversity and the one you developed.
· Describe the sources of the definitions (SHRM; name and location of the international publication; name and location of the international non-profit organization; name and location of the public organization)
· Describe the composition of the critical audience for each definition.
· Compare your definition of diversity with the definitions from the other four sources. Be specific and evaluate each description of its global inclusivity.
· How do these definitions line up with your diversity and inclusion awareness or intention?
· What conclusions and recommendations did you derive from this comparison?
