Download or read book Diversity Management and Identity in Organisations written by Davide Bizjak and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances a conceptualisation of gender identity within Diversity Management in organisations that takes into account the linkages between individual and organisational identity, thus moving from liminality, where gender is considered merely as a binary and diversity as something to manage, to inclusion, where diversity means a commitment to supporting a processual way to approach both belongingness and uniqueness within organisation. Through the use of Critical Discourse Analysis, the book investigates a series of UK county-based public and private bodies, combining the analysis of interviews with a set of policy documents. In this way, this contribution explores what challenges Diversity Management in organisations has to cope with, and to what extent the relationship between individual and organisational identity can help us prevent any form of discrimination and foster inclusiveness in organisations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can diversity management offer those concerned with ethnic inequality, racial discrimination, and issues of social and economic inclusion and exclusion? In this book John Wrench traces the emergence of diversity management in the US in the late 1980s, and explores its subsequent development in Europe. He outlines the various critiques of diversity management that have been suggested both by academics and equality activists and highlights recent issues and trends that should be monitored by those concerned with racial and ethnic equality in employment. In particular, Wrench examines whether diversity management can be seen as a ’soft option’ in terms of combating racism and discrimination, or instead, a new way of mainstreaming anti-discrimination measures. He also addresses the important question of whether the development of diversity management in Europe will follow a relatively uniform trajectory because of common demographic, economic and market pressures, or whether the historical, cultural and institutional differences which exist between EU countries, and between the EU and the US, will have a determining impact on the adoption, content and operation of this particular management practice.

The purpose of this report is to clarify what equality and diversity mean, to whom it concerns, where the difference is between these terms, what is understood by managing diversity and what the expectations of both employees and employers are. It will be shown what benefits organisations can achieve if they implement diversity management in organisations by using different means, which will be mentioned in this paper. Supported by example of Ford Motor Company it will become clear what kind of means diversity management needs to have in order to be successful. In the second part of this report I will give my recommendations supported by different theories and examples from practice. With these recommendations I will summarise different views on the better way of managing diversity and advance my own opinion on this issue.
