Everything surrounding is all about diversity and the differences in people that are so embraced. Being able to say that a business embraces diversity and can show that diversity is a priority by having more people of all types of backgrounds, ethnicities, and gender as a part of a team, can literally say that they can work with anyone who is willing to work with them. People want to see themselves when looking for someone to represent themselves.
In can be difficult to promote a job to a specific type of person. Regardless of how many minorities are needed in a job to fulfill some sort of hidden ethnic and racial quota, the need to find someone who is actually qualified to fulfill the job requirements still exists. This can be a tough issue given the inequalities that are in existence even before an individual enters the job market. A person seeking a job needs to be educated and when education is not emphasized in certain cultures, or when gender types already are engrained in someone's mind, this in itself could cause some hindrance in the diversity that is being sought by human resources. How can you pass someone up for a position, whom might be more qualified, just because they did not meet the necessary gender or ethnic qualifications? It is a difficult issue to tackle...
One type of person cannot represent the millions of people that inhabit a nation. There no longer is a majority of any sort of ethnicity or race, yet the workplace is not representative of that. Women are now beginning to rise to the occasion and be promoted as much as men are, and are starting to appear in jobs that were once male dominated, but in order for any change to occur, more efforts have to be made to recruit qualified individuals to work in a specific setting. Diversity is something that needs to be understood for its importance and its application in just about every business that there is, but it cannot be approached from the perspective of trying to fill in numbers to fulfill some sort of quota or hidden agenda.
