The Shamming of Diversity™
The late Dr. R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., in his last published work, described the Shamming of Diversity as the process of leaders, diversity practitioners, and organizations continuing affirmative action policies under the banner of diversity. Diversity becomes a “semantic cover for affirmative action.” This leads to false starts, re-work, disillusionment, disbelief, and disengagement.
In this three-part interactive, facilitator-led discussion, participants will:
- Examine three primary factors that keep organizations stuck in the “spinning wheels” cycle that leads to a ‘shamming’ assessment.
- Gain a broader understanding of the depth and breadth of a robust diversity management process by examining their personal diversity paradigms and the organizational supports and barriers that impact diversity management efforts.
- Identify the factors and actions that could shift the status quo of their current diversity efforts to a more credible, effective process with a goal of achieving business-driven outcomes.
