Hispanics: when has equal employment been achieved?

Article Abstract:

Achieving equal employment opportunity can be difficult for employers and recently these difficulties have come to light. For example, results of the Census Bureau's Current Population surveys are compared to findings of reports by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to determine whether equal employment opportunity (EEO) has been achieved by employers. Some experts believe that the methodology used by the Census Bureau may under-represent certain groups, and one group may be Hispanic Americans. Additional problems that have been revealed with trying to achieve EEO include: how employers determine their progress toward establishing EEOs in their businesses and determining the difficulties that arise when people are required to determine arbitrarily their membership in one racial category when several categories might apply.

Put diversity in context

Article Abstract:

Women and minorities are expected to make up 85 percent of new hires in the 1990s. A company's success may therefore depend on its ability to adjust to the imperatives of a multicultural work force. An appreciation of the dynamics of intercultural communication provides a basis for evaluating employees from diverse backgrounds. Personnel managers may use the model of high and low-context cultures developed by anthropologist Edward T. Hall as a means for improving interaction. The concept may also be applied in understanding the communication gap between men and women.
