Recommendations for Managing Diversity

Visible Leadership

Another key to ensure that employees are treated fairly is utilizing appropriate leadership strategies. Leadership must sincerely value a variety of opinions, and organizational culture must encourage openness and make workers feel valued. Organizations must also have a well-articulated and widely understood mission and a relatively egalitarian, non bureaucratic structure. Having such a work environment will ensure that the attitudes and values of employees are aligned with those of the organization. In this way culture serves as a control mechanism for shaping behaviors.
