Features: This book discusses a very common and important issue in American enterprises—managing diverse employees. It focuses on how to break traditional biases against female and minority employees, change previous inappropriate practices in managing diversity, and ensure that efficiency in the workplace is improved on a fair basis. The book also points out that diversity issues exist not only in terms of race and gender but also in differences among employees in nationality, religious beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientation. Even different life experiences, ages, and personalities can constitute the unique characteristics of each employee. Therefore, in the seemingly homogeneous employee composition of Chinese enterprises, diversity issues also exist. Especially with China's entry into the WTO and the opening of the labor market, an increasing number of people from different races and cultural backgrounds will come to China for employment. How to address the unique characteristics of employees and enable each to fully utilize their potential to improve corporate efficiency will become a challenge and an issue that Chinese enterprises will soon face. Chinese business managers can learn many concepts and experiences from this book.
