DIVERSITY TRAINING MANUAL

You have just been hired as the human resources (HR) manager by your company’s chief executive officer (CEO). During your interview process the CEO indicated that in the last 2 decades the workforce demographics of her company have changed dramatically. Although this had been occurring both the previous HR manager as well as all of the company’s front-line supervisors have remained as they had been for years: primarily white males now in their 50s and early 60s from a Judeo-Christian background. The CEO indicated that at a frequent rate workplace strife had been increasing and it seemed to be related to the changing demographics of the workforce itself. The CEO asked you to compile a training manual that consists of sections targeted at the training of the existing front-line supervisors. Later on there will be sensitivity training as well as to help all employees understand the changing workforce and what it might mean for them.
To complete the CEO’s request for a comprehensive training manual she has asked you to first create a table of contents for the manual and to complete at least 20% of the manual itself.
