Dear Smita
To seek idea is good thing for every one, you can do ur project "diversity policy/ managment topic" ,
the biggest challenges of every organisations is how to retain their telents. ? we are not confined market, but in gobal market. Today the attrition rate of every corporate sectors is high due to lack of proper diversity program/policy. it is more challengable job to balance the corporate.
here it is a brief about diversity management :
Before you look to hire diverse candidates, make sure your organizational culture and environment will support diversity, otherwise retention is sure to become a challenge.
Following are 10 ways to ensure that your diversity program is successful
1. Make it strategic
Incorporate diversity into your business strategy and communicate the professional “business sense” and leadership commitment to diversity; make training only a part of the overall diversity program; revisit existing policies and programs to ensure they align with and support your vision for diversity.
2. Make it measurable: Know your baseline
How do your current employees feel about your environment - Is it inclusive? Do they feel they are part of the company team? Do they feel their input is welcome? Periodic climate surveys and ongoing exit interview surveys can provide you with valuable information with which to measure your program's effectiveness.
3. Make it relevant to your customers/clients
Who are your current customers/clients? Who might your new customers/clients be and what are their interests? How might you position your organization to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse market?
4. Make it inclusive
Make your program applicable to all employees of the organization, rather than targeting people of color, women and/or disabled employees.
5. Make sure there's accountability
Assign responsibility to a core team of leadership professionals for the development and implementation of strategic action plans.
6. Make it experiential
Roll out development programs that enable participants to draw from real world examples and engage in interactive exercises so that they can “try-on” new concepts and build new skills.
7. Make it unifying
Rather than polarizing or alienating, which many diversity programs tend to be as they recreate social inequities
8. Make it standard
Role model an appreciation of differences from the top down; the message must stem from leadership and business vision, and be modeled by senior executives.
9. Make it collaborative
Encourage accountability and ownership of the responsibility for fostering an inclusive environment by all managers and staff throughout the organization.
10. Make it comprehensive
Cover the basics, like rolling out compliance training and developing anti-harassment and anti-bias policies, but be sure to assign critical importance to the development of intercultural competence and the associated skills.
Thanks
