Issues in Diversity Management

Abstract

This report presents seven articles on diversity covering the content of diversity, the business case for diversity, diversity and military readiness, best practices of diversity management, diversity mentoring, generational diversity, and targeted recruiting for diversity. The choice of these seven articles was based on survey data of what senior military leaders and commanders wanted to know about diversity management. This report identifies several overall conclusions such as diversity is continually expanding; diversity is not always a benefit, it depends on the strategy; diversity can have far reaching organizational effects, and align strategy, recruiting, and diversity climate. Recommendations are to place these articles on DEOMIs Diversity Resource Network (DRN) Web page and provide links to other appropriate military Web pages.
