Diversity Issue Towards Gender Change An employee recently went through a major change. Over the course of time, a supervisor, Frank Curry had altered his look, and, then one day, came to work after an operation and was now known as Annie, a female. This change was quite a shocker for the entire company and rumors were going around the work area. This had caused a problem in the workplace towards a diversity issue between the company and employees because of the demographic changes, gender, and cultural differences. For example, other female employees are not comfortable with utilizing the same bathroom as Annie. This could result to harassment or mistreatment on the job, or employment. I propose that training and educate employees about diversity and to stress a "zero tolerance" against discrimination in the workplace. Managers can encourage change in employee behavior to strengthen the working relationship between men and women, and lead by example. The mission is to promote an equal opportunity in the workplace and enforce the federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. It began in the 1960s; Americans who knew only the potential of "equal protection of the laws" expected the president, the Congress, and the courts to fulfill the promise of the 14th Amendment. In response, all three branches of the federal government as well as the public debated a fundamental constitutional question: Does the Constitution 's prohibition of denying equal protection always ban the use of racial, ethnic or gender criteria in an attempt to bring social justice and social benefits? According to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration Web site, in 1964 Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241). The provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The
