Visible Diversity Traits Invisible Diversity Traits SHRM’s Definition of Diversity At SHRM, we define diversity as “the collective mixture of differences and similarities that includes for example, individual and organizational characteristics, values, beliefs, experiences, backgrounds, preferences, and behaviors.” Skin color Physical Traits Gender Behaviors Body Size/Type Age Physical Abilities Socio-economic Status Religion Sexual Orientation Military Experience Level in Organization Ethnicity Culture Geographic Location Beliefs Values Thinking Styles Personality Marital Status Habits Functional Specialty Parental Status Communication Style Work Background Native born/non native Education

  3. Diversity Survey Diversity surveys like the one on the National SHRM web site can offer a company insight into how its employees really feel about the diversity culture of the company https://www.shrm.org/templatestools/samples/hrforms/pages/diversitysurveys.aspx Sample Questions: • I have been the victim of discrimination at this company • The leadership at this company encourages diversity • There is a career development path for all employees at this company • The company's policies or procedures discourage discrimination. • Employees of different ages are valued equally by this organization

  4. What can you do to make sure your company is diversity compliant? Learn what is working for other companies. Every year DiversityInc publishes the Top 50 Companies they recognize for their diversity initiatives. They rate the companies through a metrics-driven evaluation and give each company a report card. You can have your company evaluated and given a report card. There is no charge to participate. http://www.diversityinc.com/the-diversityinc-top-50-companies-for-diversity-2015/ http://www.diversityinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/DiversityInc-Report-Card-Sample-20151215bPDF.pdf/
