Diversity, Perceptions of Equity, and Communicative Openness in the Workplace

University of Houston-Downtown

This essay broadly explores the relationship between workforce diversity and resulting perceptions of inequity in the workplace, presenting communicative openness as a solution to many organizational problems associated with increasing diversity. More specifically, it documents communication and inter personal problems commonly experienced by organizational members who are perceived as being dissimilar, and it supports a two-pronged approach to fostering a more equitable workplace. This approach suggests that organiza tions use mentoring programs solely as a long-term strategy and that they use discreet and consistent supervisory disclosures of task-relevant information as a short-term strategy for achieving real equity and fairness in business communi cation.
