Workplace Diversity

Issues & Perspectives

Professor Daly has assembled an impressive collection of original essays regarding one of the most vexing issues facing the workplace—the cultural, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and physical diversity of its work force. This book is an invaluable source for all social workers, especially those in supervisory and administrative roles.

Workplace Diversity brings together an impressive array of originally authored chapters by social workers and social scientists who have thought deeply about diversity in today’s organizations. The book is informed by a theoretical perspective; it reflects the interests, needs, and experiences of all those who make up America’s demographic landscape; it focuses not only on problems and barriers, but also on ways to build organizations that will celebrate and utilize diverse talents and perspectives; and it speaks to the future.
