WORKFORCE DIVERSITY: LOCAL AND

This course examines the strategic management of workforce diversity from both a local and a global perspective. The course begins with a study of historical and contemporary forms of prejudice and discrimination, in the U.S. and abroad, followed by an exploration of the local and global legislation related to equal opportunity in the workforce. Students will learn about different approaches to diversity management and how to handle diversity metrics. They will also study the issues that affect specific identity groups, defined by such factors as religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity.
