Surveyed HR and Training Executives Unsure How to Apply Diversity, reported by Kim R Wells, on his blog, Professional Edge:

According to a recent article by Kathy Gurchiek in Society of Human Resource Management's HR News, putting diversity into practice has been a challenge for many firms. For many of you young professionals looking to access and advance in today's top corporations this may be of interest to you.

According to the article, organizations are increasingly committed to diversity in their workforce, but one-fourth of more than 2,000 senior HR and training executives polled are unsure how to apply it and leverage its benefits; a conclusion based on findings by the Boston-based Novations Group, a global consulting organization that commissioned the Internet survey of 2,046 workers conducted in February 2007.
