Diversity Reflection Paper
What has the diversity mix been (how have diverse groups been represented) in organizations where you have worked? Where you have lived and now live? Where you grew up?
Diversity is essential in the workplace. It is the difference among people, gender, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation and a list of other things that identify people. Each person brings a different perspective, experience, culture and style with them. When people come from different backgrounds and different world their view points are different also their individual influences.
At my workplace, there is diversity. There are many different races, cultures and national origin. Strangely I couldn’t tell you how all of this came about or why our organization is so diverse. I can only believe that the organization was trained and understand the importance of have an organization that is diverse in nature. Our organization works a great deal with patients that come from all across the world, we have to have diversity. We work with patience’s from China, Japan, Mexico and many other third world countries. Therefore we have to have staffs that are able to communicate with our patients. Many times the kids don’t speak any English so communication is key in being diverse with our company. We have to have staff that can translate including therapist, front-line staff, doctors and nurse. I would have to say that the company is well diverse.
I grow up in an environment full of farm workers and mostly agriculture work. In my opinion, there wasn’t much diversity then. There were mainly illegal immigrants working for minimum income which took a lot of jobs away from the people of the community.
When you were growing up, did you interact with diverse groups? What was the result or impact?
When I was growing up I interacted with a diverse group of people. Many
