Causes And Effects Of Cultural Diversity Issues

Causes And Effects Of Cultural Diversity Issues

You want your employees working in an environment that embraces inclusion. Diverse cultural perspectives can inspire creativity and innovation, produce a higher quality experience for your guests, and enhance your marketing efforts. It is also an opportunity for personal and professional growth for your employees.

In this assignment, you identify challenging cultural diversity issues, examine the main causes and effects of the issues you have identified, and explore possible solutions for overcoming problematic issues.

Imagine you are the human resource director for a large hotel chain with locations in the following metropolitan cities:

  • New York, NY
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Boston, MA
  • Detroit, MI
  • Denver, CO
  • Atlanta, GA
  • Miami, FL
  • Phoenix, AZ
  • Chicago, IL
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Cleveland, OH
  • Little Rock, AR

You have been asked to write a report to your management highlighting problematic diversity issues that may arise in cities where your hotels are located. You have also been asked to propose possible strategies and solutions that will help to minimize the issues from affecting your diverse workforce.

Identify 3 challenging diversity issues to discuss in your report (e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, age, language, disability).

Write a 525- to 700-word report that addresses each of the 3 diversity issues you have identified. Each issue should be addressed in approximately 175 to 235 words.

Complete the following in your report:

  • Describe the 3 issues (select different issues than those you have addressed in previous weeks of this course).
  • Identify the city (or cities) where your hotels are more likely to see or experience each issue. Describe why you believe these issues will affect your business in the city or cities.
  • Examine the causes of each issue. From your perspective, why did each become an issue, and why does each issue continue to exist?
  • Identify the steps the company can take to address these issues and minimize the effects on your diverse workforce now and in the future. Consider both the perspective of the company as well as the individual.

Review the rubric to be sure you have included all requirements.

Include a reference page at the end of the proposal. Use a citation generator, such as the Reference & Citation Generator in the Center for Writing Excellence for guidance on formatting your reference list using APA format. Consult the References page on the APA Style website for assistance. Don’t worry about perfection. If you make a mistake, your faculty member can help, so please let your faculty member know if you have any questions.

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined core competencies that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF has represented them within nine broad areas of core competence. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This synthesis course has had the overarching objective of preparing you to be able to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and be prepared to apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities.

  2. Leadership
  3. Quality
  4. Practice Inquiry
  5. Technology and Information Literacy
  6. Policy
  7. Health Delivery System
  8. Ethics
  9. Independent Practice

For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet it (for a total of at least nine paragraphs).
