Diversity Initiatives in the Workplace The term Diversity can be used to define the uniqueness of each individual in a population. Today, many employers and organizations strive to be representative of such diversity whether it be through Employment Equity or a program developed within their own business or organization. Our communities are made up of so many different kinds of people and as we go about our days there are many people who value seeing diversity represented in the places where they shop, entertain, and do business. Being representative of diversity is not preferential treatment but a means to strive for understanding and corresponding to individual learning and cultural differences. There are many ways to engage a diverse workforce such as researching how particular communities share information, work with liaison officers and organizations, create training programs to fit employment opportunities, and investigate posting with various job boards and career centres. Featured below are some employers and their diversity initiatives:
