Riassunto

Now in its Second Edition, Managing a Diverse Workforce continues to provide a complete and comprehensive set of learning activities that address issues related to workplace diversity. Participation in these exercises leads to a greater appreciation of the wide range of issues that arise when people classify themselves or are classified by others as members of different groups, on whatever basis. Over half of the 30 learning activities are new to this Second Edition.
