SOC 315 Wk 1 – Diversity Proposal:Reinvigorate Inclusion Efforts
in Response to Employee Complaint
For this assignment, imagine you have been hired as the new Diversity
& Inclusion Specialist in the Human Resources (HR) department of your
current company or another company of your choosing. One of the first
tasks you are given is to create a Diversity Proposal for your manager in
response to an anonymous complaint (below) that was recently
submitted to the HR suggestion box:
Complaint: I have been working here for 4 years. I am tired of watching
the same “Diversity in the Workplace” 20-minute training video each
January in order to satisfy the company’s annual diversity training
requirement. Nothing around here shows that this company values
diversity. As one of a few people of color at this company, I feel like I’m
just here to increase diversity numbers so that the company “looks good”
on paper. When are we going to actually do something to recognize all
types of diversity? There are more aspects to diversity, besides race,
that make individuals unique.
Create a 500- to 800-word Diversity Proposal that addresses the
following questions:
 What is the business case or proposition for recognizing the
importance of diversity and inclusion?

2.  How can we create a company mission and company goals to
outwardly express and reinforce our commitment to diversity and
inclusion? What might our mission statement say to express our
commitment?
 What are at least two short-term actions (less than 6 months) that
the company can take to immediately address some of the concerns
expressed in the anonymous complaint?
 What are at least two long-term actions (6 months to 2 years) that
the company can take to address some of the concerns expressed in the
anonymous complaint?
 How can the company enhance its current annual employee
diversity training? Why is this training important?
 What initiatives can the company implement to celebrate diversity
beyond race?
 How can these initiatives bring employees together to celebrate
diversity and promote inclusion?
 What other suggestions do you have to improve workplace culture
and messaging around diversity and inclusion?
Include a minimum of two scholarly articles/academic references.
Format your paper/proposal according to appropriate course-level APA
guidelines.
