Review
"This book will be of major interest to scholars and practitioners interested in learning how to manage diversity in the workplace. The editors have assembled a savvy panel of authors who provide practical, theoretically-based suggestions for creating and sustaining diversity with the goal of strengthening employee relations and organizational effectiveness. Particularly noteworthy are the separate chapters devoted to the unique problems associated with different dimensions of diversity including race and ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation and obesity." Samuel L. Gaertner, University of Delaware
“A well-conceived, scholarly treatment of workplace diversity and management. Thorough in its coverage, well-written and edited, this timely volume is a must read for scholars, students and practitioners alike. Excellent!” Robert D. Ridge, Brigham Young University
"This book nicely combines organizational diversity issues with attention to the experience of under-represented groups. This unique combination puts workplace diversity in context." Linda M. Hite, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne

Going Deep,
By R. BraytonBowen "brayton@howlandgroup.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Psychology and Management of Workplace Diversity (Paperback)
This is an extraordinarily well researched, well-presented, and masterfully edited work on the psychology and management of diversity. The authors have taken the subject well beyond the surface rhetoric and HR parlance of 'valuing diversity'--indeed, they have driven right up to the door of bias and prejudice and sped on through to a deeper level of understanding, by credibly and convincingly making the case for why diversity is good for business. I have used this work in my university classes and recommend it to others. The case references are extremely useful in helping doubters see the 'real time' benefits of enlightened thinking in a complex and conflicted world.

Extraordinary Introduction to Workplace Diversity,
By Robert D. Shull "shullrd" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Psychology and Management of Workplace Diversity (Paperback)
This is an extraordinary introduction to the dynamics and management of workplace diversity. The text is written from both a managerial and psychological perspective, which will prove useful to the HR practitioner. A number of case studies are interwoven throughout the book to illustrate issues that might arise in the workplace and possible resolutions to them. The book also lays out a fairly detailed and compelling business case for workplace diversity. As the workforce becomes increasingly diverse and intertwining issues increasingly emerge, HR practitioners and business managers will find this an essential introductory text.
