Valuing Diversity
Cornerstones
Diversity is about inclusion and engagement.
The most important issue is always human dignity and total quality respect.
Prejudice is eliminated by developing high performance teams.
True diversity is ensuring diversity of thought at all levels of the organization.
Everyone adds talent and value; each person must be developed and offered full opportunity to achieve.
Diversity solutions must be situation specific.
Diversity is a philosophy and is everyone’s responsibility.
