The volume begins with Simone I. Flynn’s essay on race, ethnicity, and public policy. As Flynn explains, while race-based public policies provide opportunity and protection for historically oppressed groups, they may simultaneously perpetuate the belief in fundamental differences between races. Gender in the workplace can also be an issue, especially in regard to management positions, and it is not uncommon for these positions to have a huge salary differential between men and women. Vanessa A. Tetteh examines the impact of anti-discrimination legislation that aims to improve workplace diversity initiatives and enhance the factors that support successful diversity strategies. Overall, diversity initiatives have opened up an untapped pool of talent that was previously overlooked by many organizations. Seth M. Azria studies employment problems in relation to federal, state, and common laws and discusses how these regulations influence the managerial actions that must be taken for problem employees.
