History of Diversity


What is Diversity?

There is more to diversity than

gender and race differences.


Internal Individual

Preferred Behavior Style Personality Values Experiences Natural Behavior


External Individual

Age Gender Sexual orientation Physical ability Ethnicity Race


Internal Organizational

Functional level/classification Work content/field Division/department/unit/group Seniority Work location Union affiliation Management status


External Organizational

Geographic location Income Personal habits Recreational habits Religion

Education Work experience Appearance Parental status Marital status


Human beings instinctively notice external differences whether they are in height, skin color, lifestyle, or language.

Identifying commonalities may sound easy, but it takes effort beneath the obvious to identify values and needs that reveal shared humanity.
