Managing Diversity in OrganizationsEdition 2

Managing Diversity in Organizations equips students with a thorough understanding of the advantages and challenges presented by workplace diversity, suggesting techniques to manage diversity effectively, maximize its benefits, and build more inclusive organizations. Readers will learn to work with diverse groups to create a productive organization in which everyone feels included.

The author of this book offers a comprehensive survey of demographic groups and an analysis of their history, allowing students to develop a deep understanding of the dimensions of diversity. From this foundation, students are taught to manage diversity effectively on the basis of race, sex, LGBTQIA+, religion, age, ability, national origin, and intersectionality in organizations and to understand the issues various groups face, including discrimination. Opening with current case studies and discussion questions to enhance comprehension, the chapters provide practical insight into subconscious/implicit bias, team diversity, and diversity management in the United States and abroad. “Global View” examples further highlight how diversity management unfolds around the world. Now in its second edition, this popular text has been thoroughly revised and updated with new cases throughout. It also includes an expanded chapter on intersectionality to cover the advancements in this area, as well as more coverage of inclusion, mindfulness, and mental health and well-being as practices that can contribute toward diversity and inclusion in workspaces.

Offering a fresh look at workplace diversity, this book will serve students of diversity, human resource management, and organizational studies.
