<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 />

a diverse workforce. This paper should be<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 />
