Department of Industrial Engineering, Turkey
Continuous training education of company employees is an indispensable tool to achieve high
quality products in services. In Turkey, yearly employee education has an average of 22 hours per
year. However, this is not enough to result in significantly improved worker performance. The job
requirements are classified in four main categories: Capabilities (Education, experience, creativity,
etc.), responsibilities (technical devices, production, man power, etc.), efforts (muscular and
mental) and work environment (working factors, physical and social factors, etc.). The paper
discusses the differences between job requirements and present employee qualifications. Closing
the gap between these factors is essential in human-resources management.

The study provided a description of organizational diversity efforts. The purpose was to determine
if companies value diversity, discourage behavior inconsistent with principals of diversity as well
as determine how well they promote diversity internally through education and externally in
community outreach. Over 100 companies responded to a questionnaire including Human
Resource and business managers. Results suggest that companies approach diversity more with an
interest in compliance to United States law versus promoting diversity as an intrinsic value.
Companies did initiate internal educational prgrams more so than community efforts. The Health
care industry promoted initiatives significantly more than other industries.
