Strategies and Processes to support a diverse workforce

EXEMPLERY DIVERSITY PROGRAMMS

Conducting reseach on exemplary diversity programs is a simple process. The U.S department of labor, office of federal contarct compliance programs publishes a list of employers recognized for their diversity programs. In addition, magazines such as "Fortune" "Inc" "Fast Company" and enterprenuer periodically lsit companies recognised as the best employers for women, minorities, and individulas with disablities. Articles that describe some of the most effective diversilty programs and policies can stir creativitty in the development of your own policies and procedures.




Change of Laws

Charges to federal, state and local laws governing emploment practises may apply to private or public sector employment. Some private employers implement policies that mirror those in the public sector. When you learn about changes to the law that affect employment, determine if those changes affect employment in the public sector, private sector or both. In march 2010 houston mayor annuise parker enacted executive orders prohibiting discrimination based on gender, gender expression and sexual orientation in city government employment. Some private sector employers will consider including aspects of city of houston laws in updating policies that address discrimination based on gender and sex. A private sector employer that wants to model a diversity policy similar to laws that apply to city of houston employees may consider revising its corporate statement on equal employment health care bebnefits of its employees domestic partners.
