Diversity is fast becoming a key strategic business issue in many corporate boardrooms, in an attempt to attract, develop, and retain a workforce that provides a competitive advantage.

Featuring examples and best practices from companies such as Ernst & Young, IBM and Nortel, Global Diversity at Work provides a proven process for implementing a diversity strategy successfully and offers tools for measuring the success of your initiatives. This hands-on practical guide shows that by implementing a diversity strategy, organizations gain a better understanding of their customers, attract and retain the best employees more effectively, and as a direct result increase productivity and improve the bottom line.
