As the manager of human resources (HR), the firm’s chief executive officer (CEO) frequently asks you to describe what issues may arise in the workplace as a result of increasing diversity of the workplace. This will enable him to be better prepared to address these issues. For example if a particular religious minority will be increasing in size in the local community, this will probably be reflected in your workforce, and the CEO would like to train the supervisors in any issues that may be encountered.
