Workplace Mediation For Diversity Conflicts, Maxine Ballard Oct 2001

Workplace Mediation For Diversity Conflicts, Maxine Ballard

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

Diversity conflicts usually occur in organizations where communication is inadequate and generally require a third party to facilitate resolution. Developing and preserving healthy workplace relationships must be a top priority for all employees. Using mediation to resolve diversity conflicts in the workplace allow preservation of jobs and full and equal participation and contributions by all employees (including minority employee groups). This workshop is designed to provide people of color in predominantly white institutions an alternate dispute resolution method to resolve relational conflicts such as race, gender, age and culture differences.

Why Can't We Wait (To Spend) And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Potential Negative Impact On Minority Employees From Well-Intentioned Organizational Compensation Practices, James R. Jones Oct 2001

Why Can't We Wait (To Spend) And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Potential Negative Impact On Minority Employees From Well-Intentioned Organizational Compensation Practices, James R. Jones

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The presenter outlines a theoretical argument suggesting that organizational attempts to increase short- and long-term motivation and loyalty may unwittingly exacerbate career and financial growth problems for some "minority" workers. Research on ethnic cultural tendencies and individual differences in spending propensities is used to support the notion that the use of incentive-based compensation systems and retirement programs could lead to employees being both undermined in terms of financial health and "slotted" into divergent career paths.

Engaging In Difficult Dialogues Beyond Color: Where Do You Draw The Line Between Race, Gender And Authority In The Classroom?, Safoura A. Boukari

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

Grounding the discussion in Check Anta Diop’s Cradle theory, this paper invites us for a critical thinking and questioning of the very existence, the relevance of the color concept itself alongside the negative and detrimental impacts color has on, especially, Black women in academia. Historical, anthropological, scientific findings and theorists of the “Monogenesis” like, Asa G. Hilliard III (Free Your Mind: Return to the Source) traced the human origin back to a single human being, a woman, more than 10.000 years ago. In reference to the current trend, skin color could be defined as nothing, but the result of an …

Promoting Higher Education: The Latino Achievement Mentoring Program (Lamp), Byron L. Zamboanga, Lisa Knoche, Gloria Gonzalez-Kruger, Marcela Raffaelli

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)
