Program Overview
Since the 1990s, Diversity Management has become a burgeoning practice and profession in the workplace. In addition to the equal opportunity, compliance, conciliation, and investigative responsibilities in the workplace, practitioners have been tasked with developing diversity and inclusion programs.
