Goodwill Industries International, a non-profit organization that supports diversity, is proud to be a part of this movement. The organization’s purpose is to grant respect and remove obstacles by providing fair employment opportunities. Hartel (2017) and Fujimoto agree diversity management does more than ensure that different groups are represented within an organisation. This is a complex process because it requires the development of a culture that values diversity. The leadership structure and the motivation of human resources must be changed to make a change in corporate culture. While a shift in corporate culture can have enormous benefits, including increased competitive advantage, it is difficult to achieve this change.
The lack of diversity within an organisation can cause confusion, and it hinders the ability of the company to take advantage of the knowledge of diverse staff. Goodwill’s organization culture is likely to be one of its greatest challenges, as the workplace landscape changes rapidly. The requirement for diversity necessitates that the HR department support the organization in adopting a culture that reflects the ever-changing demographics of the workplace (Fujimoto & Hartel, 2017). Only a small number of people are responsible for training, education and developing an organization. Many firms offer training that’s ad-hoc and hasty. It is also conducted concurrently with regular organizational activities.
Promoting diversity is one of the main reasons that the company is committed to reducing prejudice. Prejudice can occur in many situations and between different populations. Discrimination can arise on the basis or sexual orientation, of gender, colour, gender, religion and age. Most cases of bias are addressed with legal measures. Valfort (2018) claims that the use of a mixture of anti-discrimination regulations may help in fighting prejudice. Being a black female engineer, prejudice is a problem. It is difficult to believe that I am a professional in an industry that was historically associated with men. Although I might have been hired by the well-known construction company, my salary is lower than that of most male counterparts in the same job. Also, large projects are often excluded and difficult tasks for women. In order to be accepted into the macho society, I feel compelled not to wear makeup or appear more “girly”. But they feel that none of these are sufficient as I am only being hired to expand the company’s diversity.
