has a different idea about

resources. You can’t achieve
your goals as a company if
you don’t have the right
human or fiscal resources in
place. Just by saying you want
to become a diverse

there.

acquisition is about attracting
the best talent from a pool of
outstanding individuals of
diverse backgrounds. Once
you’ve attracted the talent,
you must enable them to
become part of the
established culture of your
organization.
15. Educate. Everyone needs to
be trained. Managers must be
educated about the benefits of
diversity and the processes
necessary to achieve it.
Employees must be given the
coaching, mentoring and skills
they need. Without training,
you risk losing your best talent
to your competitors.
