<strong>SOC</strong> <strong>315</strong> Week 3 Team Assignment: Outline<br />
of <strong>Diversity</strong> Action Plan<br />
Due to future trends in population growth, it<br />
will be more important than ever for
organizations to prepare for the challenges<br />
and opportunities presented by diversity. The<br />
learning team diversity action plan will consist<br />
of a 2800-3500-word report and 20-minute<br />
presentation (for online students:<br />
PowerPoint® presentation with notes)<br />
designed to assist your organization or work<br />
group to prepare for these trends. The<br />
following are items that should be considered<br />
in the diversity action plan:<br />
Using at least two outside sources, the<br />
presentation and report should summarize<br />
trends in population growth and diversity.<br />
Be sure to include a description of the selected<br />
organization or workgroup. Is it a transnational<br />
corporation? Does (or will) the workgroup have<br />
contact with international vendors? Without<br />
this information, it will be difficult to speculate<br />
how the trends identified above will impact<br />
your organization.<br />
In preparing the diversity action plan, be sure<br />
to address the following:
1) <strong>Cultural</strong> norms of new groups with whom<br />
the organization will come into contact<br />
2) Opportunities (different approaches to<br />
productivity, problem-solving, and so forth)<br />
and challenges (including communication<br />
barriers) that diversity will present to the<br />
organization<br />
3) How will the organization prepare the<br />
workforce to maximize the benefits of diversity<br />
and minimize the challenges?<br />
4) Use at least two relevant outside sources<br />
that provide relevant information and/or data<br />
that justify the approach of your action plan.<br />
In Week Three, prepare an outline of the report<br />
component of the diversity action plan. This<br />
outline should include a summary of<br />
secondary sources that will be used in the final<br />
written report and presentation.<br />

of <strong>Diversity</strong> in the Workplace Paper
From personal experience, select an issue in<br />
the work environment that may have been<br />
more successfully resolved by the presence of<br />
a diverse workforce. This paper should be<br />
1,050 to 1,400 words. The paper should include<br />
the following:<br />
Include a thorough description of the issue. Be<br />
sure to describe the ramifications of the issue<br />
on the organization.<br />
Do not simply state that a diverse workforce<br />
would have been beneficial in the selected<br />
issue. Provide specific details regarding how<br />
diversity would have prevented the situation or<br />
would have facilitated a more successful<br />
resolution to the challenge. Justify your<br />
answer.<br />
