A strategic move to implement diversity management program in a real organization

1. At Nuclear Regulatory Commission at USA, there is a strategy which commands commitment
from all quarters (mangers, supervisors, and employees) at the level of individual, group, and
organization to support comprehensive diversity management plan and its objective. The
philosophy and objective is to increase the organizational capacity. NRC’s policy is to select the
best qualified person for a particular job irrespective of his/her race, national origin, gender, age,
disability, religion etc. To appropriately implement the diversity management initiatives,
measures needs to be documented to ensure how well the organization is able to achieve its
objective. To implement the stated strategy, company has impinged upon its leaders to become
change agents by ensuring:
Organizational policies and practices support the vision and it is truly responsive to
change.
The workplace is inclusive.
Managing diversity principles so that it is integrated well with the day-to-day operations
of the organization.
While employees of the organization are required to do the followings for successful
implementation:
Support the principles of diversity in letter and spirit.
Respects the differences in viewpoints, styles, background, and positions.
Foster greater organizational effectiveness and efficiency through the principles of
diversity management.
To further implement the strategy, NRC has chalked out:
Affirmative Employment Plan: It can be integrated into the system through the four guiding
principles.
1. By creating an environment that is free from discrimination of all sorts like harassment,
disabilities etc.
2. Procedure should provide all employees with an opportunity to participate in mission
accomplishment that allows every employee to compete fairly and equitably towards
advancement of their career.
3. Employing competent and skilled workforce by providing tools and support system that
create overall positive environment.
4. Value diversity also needs to be well recognized as it helps to build trust, respect and
concern for all the employees.
