Diversity Works
The aim of this
Development Partnership is to develop a diversity management process
that fits easily within existing local, national and European
quality management excellence models. As part of the project Diversity
Works will examine the different forms of discrimination relating
to men, women, black and ethnic minority communities, people with
disabilities, carers and the lesbian/gay/bisexual and the transgendered
community as well as others affected by social exclusion.
There are five main
objectives:
• To explore the
use of diversity management processes in Northern Ireland and
to gather examples of good practice researching multiple identity
{that is belonging to more than one community of interest},
long term unemployment and their relationship with the needs
of employers;
• Develop and pilot a diversity management process with
a SME, statutory body and a community/voluntary sector organisation
• Disseminate innovative practice, processes and programme
outcomes; and
• Work within a transnational partnership on the usage
of diversity management processes in Europe and their potential
transferability.
