Abstract

Corporations have failed to charge human resource officers with the responsibility of facilitating the unique diverse relationships needed for enriching their own workforce. Often, at best, training programs introduce intercultural sensitivity and only suggest the actual need for employee connections with diverse others. The trainers hesitate to discuss how to monitor and facilitate accountability for forming the diverse relationships that make others feel a sense of inclusion and create safe places for voices to be asserted. This chapter calls for a human resources plan for raising the awareness for engaging in the actual networking, accountability, and the building of the human relationships that enrich the vitality of the workplace. This plan sees the corporate diversity mission as a persuasive message and thus looks at how employees may become involved in the mission in different ways related to their values, their relevant impressions, and possible outcomes.
