article summary, Isaac Haseltine 6/1

The article titled “Racial Diversity: There’s More Work to be Done in the Workplace” highlights the disadvantages that continue to diminish minority groups morale in the workplace, and categorizes the individual issues and their potential resolutions. Terri Williams is an African-American freelance journalist, in the article she shares her stance against the typical homogeneous organizational culture that is disabling many businesses across the globe.  Her approach towards unconscious bias and microaggressions could certainly have a positive effect, and she addresses issues that go unspoken quite frequently. Tokenizing people of color as a PR move to seem like a more diverse organization can torment a person with the stress that is placed on a person, only because they differ racially, ethnically or sexually. The quotes Williams uses help solidify the idea that more diversity will always lead to a more perceptive and positive workplace, and boosting the morale of the minority groups in business culture will help the entire companies growth and outlook.

  1. We could use a bit more in-depth definition of the source–you’ll need to make a case for how this meets the criteria indicated in the assignment sheet for the article. If you can lay out a bit more about the author’s project and research here, you may be able to make that case. Let me know if you have any questions.
