This week's topic focuses on diversity in the workplace. Workplace diversity is not just a question of nationality or language. It refers to a wide range of characteristics of difference. It includes, for example, issues of disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. To accommodate this changing demographic fact, schools have tweaked curriculum and businesses have altered personnel policies. Diversity programs don't only preach diversity acceptance, but are also set up to promote and enhance it.
Please comment on the state of workplace diversity at your internship. Is diversity training offered at your place of employment? Have you participated in any type of diversity training? Please tell us about it if you have experienced this in your workplace.
