Some employers go out of their way to emphasize cultural and religious diversity.
They see it as a net gain for both morale and productivity. The advantage of emphasizing corporate sensitivity to such issues is not lost on workers seeking a job where they will be fully accepted, especially in a very tight sellers labor market. A major U.S. airline conducts monthly diversity-council meetings which are attended by a representative from each of the company s 15 employee groups. The law does not require companies to hold multicultural celebrations or form diversity councils. However, they know that in order to get the best workers, some of whom are devoutly religious, it is necessary to go the extra mile to demonstrate that religious diversity is not just tolerated, but encouraged and embraced.
