    Despite a vast array of society’s attempts to make the workplace equal for all people, discrimination still continues to this day. When an employer understands and values differences among their employees, the company can gain many valuable assets. An employer can benefit by having a diverse group of employees, who each bring different strengths with them. Having a group of divergent employees, better prepares a business for interacting with the many different types of customers they will serve. Workers that can embrace the differences of their coworkers, have a better ability to relate to others, and work better together. I conducted an experiment where I was unable to fully use my dominant hand for a morning. As a result of this experiment, I was able to have better understanding of what it is like to see the world from another person’s point of view.

Without management completely participating the strategies for diversity are not existent. Second, the human resources department needs to setup policies and procedures that are related to employing and training employees. Thirdly, diversity strives best when it’s about the customers.…
