2 Project Outline: Diversity and Inclusion Introduction: For my individual project on Contemporary Management Issue I will focus on "Workplace Diversity and Inclusion." This topic is relevant and very crucial in modern business environment. It has a very huge impact on employee motivation and engagement, organizational culture and the overall business image and success. Real-World Example A real world example that effectively illustrate this issue is the 2018 Starbucks racial profiling incidence. The incidence occurred in one of the Starbucks stores on April 12 2018. Two African American were arrested while sitting at the starbuck store waiting for a collegue. They were accused of trespassing. An employee called the police after the men failed to make any purchase on the store since they were waiting for their colleague. The incident sparked outrage and mass protests forcing Starbucks to close its stores nationwide in one day and utilize the day to offer anti-bias training to its employees. This examples shows the consequences that can arise from diversity and inclusion issues within a well-established business organization. Connection to the Course: This management issue relates directly to what is covered in the principles of management course. Specifically, the issue is in line with discussions pertaining to social responsibility, business ethics and organizational culture. These are discussed in chapter three and four of the text book as these chapters offer insights into fostering an inclusive workplace. They delve into aspects of communication, social responsibility, and ethical decision-making. Solutions:

3 Based on the knowledge I have gained from this course, there are several strategies that I will employ to address the issue of diversity and inclusion. These include 1. Offer Educational Training: Provide a regular schedule of training sessions on diversity and inclusion for every employee. These training sessions should center on eradicating unconscious prejudices, fostering understanding, and increasing awareness. They ought to be incorporated into continuing professional development initiatives and the onboarding procedure. 2. Leadership Commitment: Encourage top management to lead by example and actively be supporting diversity and inclusion efforts within the organization. 3. Employee Resource Groups: Create affinity groups within the organization where employees with shared backgrounds and experiences can connect and share their insights. Summary and Conclusion: Diversity and inclusion issues are a great challenge in modern business organization. It affects the reputation of the organization to attract and retain diverse talents and customers. This projects offers an opportunity to deeply analyze this issues, determine the real world implications the exploration of the Starbucks case study. I will ultimately suggest several practical solutions that can effectively mitigate this issue. Through the study of this issue, the goal is to understand how complex the issue is, and contribute the current debate concerning diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Organization’s success in the modern world is closely related to the ability to create an effective workplace environment which facilitates diversity and inclusiveness.
