Some of the most effective examples of virtual communities on the Web today are Parent Soup, Third Age and Motley Fool. Last year a new Virtual Diversity Community was established on the Internet to meet the needs of leaders struggling with the demands of a diverse workforce. Leaders and managers will be able to log on to a Web site, which will provide ready support, information and data about any diversity issue. It will become an essential tool for leaders aspiring to reach the age of equity. The future workforce will exhibit a substantially reduced tolerance to discrimination and harassment.
Diversity is an issue that can no longer be ignored.
By understanding diversity, organizations and leaders will begin to develop the required competencies to deal with the highly complex and sometimes emotional issues that are generated in an increasingly diverse workforce. All rights reserved.
