Widget National Implement Company has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons. They are being sued by several female employees for gender discrimination and harassment, they are the subject of an EEO investigation for discrimination against disabled employees and job candidates, Jesse Jackson is threatening to boycott the company for not having any executives of color, and Taylor Swift has written a song - "I Knew You Were a Polluter" - blaming the company for defiling local rivers and lakes (It's currently #3 on the Billboard Top Ten chart).
Congratulations! You have just been hired as the new (and the Company's first) Chief Diversity Officer (at an annual salary of $120,000 plus bonuses). Assuming you have buy-in from the company's CEO, what ten (10) programs/initiatives can you begin implementing in your first year to start addressing the company's problems? [NOTE: 1 - 3 should address gender discrimination and harassment; 4 - 5 should address disabled employees and job candidates; 6 - 8 should address executives of color; and, 9 - 10 should address environmental issues.]
