Module 6- Discussion_Business Organization and Management

Q An organization’s success and competitiveness depends upon its ability to embrace diversity and realize the benefits. That sounds simple, but diversity encompasses race, gender, ethnic group, age, personality, cognitive style, tenure, organizational function, education, background and more. Diversity not only involves how people perceive themselves. The "Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams" video focuses on equal opportunity employment and highlights their own personal battle with the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) section of the workforce that has been receiving considerable attention in discussion of diversity in recent years. In this weeks discussion we will explore how companies set policies that balance the opinions and needs of all employees. For your initial post, first reflect upon the video you watched and highlight how Gold + Williams have embraced diversity in the workplace. Next, reflect upon what steps you can take, starting this week, to ready yourself to become a multicultural worker?

After watching the video on Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, it has been observed that the organization had taken the major steps that will help in removing the stigmas within certain sections or groups of employees that were present within the workplace. This video basically tried to explain how the chairman or manager of the company had experienced the glass ceiling and he was not even aware of it as he was gay. He had to discuss this issue with the president of the company one day when they were invited to a dinner where he discussed and shared his experiences.
