Week 4 Assignment: Accepting Cultural Differences in the Workplace
Application: Accepting Cultural Differences in the Workplace

Demographic shift, including shifts in the racial and ethnic populations, impact the composition of the labor force. For example, there has been an increase in the number of women, people of color, average age of workers, immigrant workers, and in the number of part-time and temporary workers in the contemporary labor force. In addition, the shifts in the racial and ethnic make-up of the workforce bring issues of cultural differences and practices. In response to these shifts, government and non-profit organizations need to develop and implement a broad range of diversity initiatives, program, and practices.
