Message Outline

Background: Diversity targets are centered on the company's objectives in order to foster a
culture in which employees are aware that their contributions to increasing efficiency and
successful job performance, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, age, etc., are valued by the
organization's leadership.

Issue/Problem: The primary issue that arises because of an organization's failure to consider
diversity targets is that its workforce is unable to function as a single, cohesive unit toward the
accomplishment of business goals. The inability to effectively collaborate and communicate with
one another, both within teams and among individual employees, leads to poor performance
results and, in almost all cases, an inability to successfully complete the duties that were given to
them.

Question: Should companies adopt diversity?

 Main Message:
It is vital that every firm establishes diversity goals
because the accomplishment of these goals generates a
sense of equilibrium in the corporate culture, proper
motivation, and a sense of belonging and concern on the
part of each and every individual working for the
company.
