Document Summary

Identity groups: the collectivities people use to categorize themselves and others. Inclusion: the degree to which different voices of a diverse workforce are respected and heard: organizations can be diverse on the surface without being at all inclusive. In inclusive organizations, employees feel they are accepted, belong, and contribute to decision-making processes. What should organizations do: avoid discrimination (minimum); and, ensure that employees are diverse; and, ensure that employees are included and able to fully contribute to organizational success. (maximum) Ethnicity: a shared national origin or a shared cultural heritage. Terms used interchangeably: sex/gender, blacks/african americans, latinos/hispanics, asians/asian americans/asians and pacific islanders, whites/anglos/european americans/caucasians, minorities/people of colour. Minority or non-dominant group refers to those subordinated to majority or dominant group members in terms of power, prestige, and privilege: not necessarily refer to groups that are numerically fewer than majority group members. It is more based on the power a group has.
