Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Recipient of the University of Connecticut Award for Promoting Multiculturalism and Affirmative Action Designed to be used on its own, in conjunction with Women and Men in Management, Second Edition, or with other books on gender and diversity, Gender and Diversity in the Workplace includes a wide variety of exercises appropriate for college students and work organizations with developmental programs for managers, administrators, and other employees.
