«If the
diversity program is not effective in
producing a diverse
racial, gender, ethnic workforce, then it's not worth the paper it's written on.»
Since economic segregation closely mirrors
racial segregation, integrating schools by income will help create
racial and ethnic
diversity as well, and this form of
diversity produces numerous benefits.
I think firms can step back and really take a hard look at that and say do we feel like we have adequate representation, not only of gender, let's get it all at one time,
racial diversity, ethnic
diversity, and so on, but really take a hard look at your committees and make sure that you are being representative of your firm in such a way that you can
produce policies and procedures that are going to help you retrain that talent that you've worked so hard to recruit.
