Following the release of its 2003 predecessor, Diversity Means Business Volume 2 comes at a time when responding to skills shortages and labour market changes are increasingly challenging issues for Australian businesses. With this in mind, Diversity@work, a not-for-profit consultancy, has collated a number of relevant case studies to demonstrate how leaders in this area are successfully tapping into overlooked or under-utilised groups of workers.
The organisations and initiatives profiled in Diversity Means Business Volume 2 range from refugee work placements at the Food Services Department of Launceston General Hospital and corporate social responsibility programs at BHP Billiton to ANZ Bank’s strategies to recruit and retain mature age workers.
A slender volume with lots of tips, contacts and facts, this publication is a practical guide to implementing strategies in diversity and corporate social responsibility. The information is presented concisely and clearly, and includes links and resources for further information.
One of the book’s most useful sections is a “starter kit” on how to sell the business case for diversity. It also gives readers a snapshot of what their competition might be doing in the area, which can be a catalyst to inspire others in your organisation to action.
