You want your employees working in an environment that embraces inclusion. Diverse cultural perspectives can inspire creativity and innovation, produce a higher quality experience for your guests, and enhance your marketing efforts. It is also an opportunity for personal and professional growth for your employees.
In this assignment, you identify challenging cultural diversity issues, examine the main causes and effects of the issues you have identified, and explore possible solutions for overcoming problematic issues.
Imagine you are the human resource director for a large hotel chain with locations in the following metropolitan cities:
New York, NY
Los Angeles, CA
Boston, MA
Detroit, MI
Denver, CO
Atlanta, GA
Miami, FL
Phoenix, AZ
Chicago, IL
Las Vegas, NV
Cleveland, OH
Little Rock, AR
You have been asked to write a report to your management highlighting problematic diversity issues that may arise in cities where your hotels are located. You have also been asked to propose possible strategies and solutions that will help to minimize the issues from affecting your diverse workforce.
Identify 3 challenging diversity issues to discuss in your report (e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, age, language, disability).
