Social Diversity

Discussion 2: Social Diversity in the Workplace

 

As a consultant for Workplace Solutions Consulting, you meet with members of the software development organization to document the multi-generational issues that have been reported—namely that people are not getting along and working well together. During your meeting, you notice that the individuals representing the Baby Boomers are predominately white males, while the Millennials seem to be comprised of people from foreign nationalities, people of color, and women.

Discussion Prompt

What questions would you ask to ascertain the nature of the multi-generational issues? What questions would you ask to understand if there may be other issues relating to race and gender?
