Tools for Managing Diversity by Pearn Kandola

Today managing diversity is not just socially desirable, but the driver of organisational competitiveness. This comprehensive set of tools shows exactly how to build a framework for creating an organisation-wide culture of diversity.

The culmination of extensive work in a wide range of UK and international companies, all the tools have been thoroughly tested and incorporate best practice and leading-edge approaches. Above all, they are designed to be easy to follow and practical so you can achieve measurable results. For those starting from scratch the tools provide a complete programme for those with more experience, an action grid offers a simple diagnostic method for identifying strengths and weaknesses and indicates the appropriate tools to improve performance. The material is presented as four units.

Overview

A useful introduction providing the theory underlying their development and full guidance on getting the most from the pack.

Understanding, planning and communicating diversity

Divided into four sections:

  • four tools for introducing the concept and assessing your current position;

  • two tools for developing policies;

  • four tools to assist those championing diversity to "sell" the concept; and

  • six tools to enable you to design and implement a diversity audit.

Diversity training

Thirteen tools that form a comprehensive set of training materials with programme suggestions. A final tool looks at the criteria for selecting diversity consultants.

Diversity in action

Managing the Mosaic by Rajvinder Kandola and Johanna Fullerton (Second Edition)
