Research and identify an organization that has exemplary diversity and inclusion practices and policies (level one: within the company). Be sure to identify a specific organization that can be researched in available university databases. (Really small and unknown organizations are discouraged due to difficulty researching.)

a. Provide summary and description of the program/policy.
b. Identify the cultural group that the initiative is aiming to promote (women, minorities, people with disabilities, etc) and what might be the barriers faced by that population without this initiative in place.
3. Assessment of the Initiative:
a. What was the organization’s motivation for implementing inclusive practices (e.g., major law suit, CEO’s vision, etc.)
b. Evaluate how the initiative promotes organizational benefit and positive outcomes (ie. employee satisfaction, productivity, performance, profits, etc.).
4. Assess ethical implications and biblical/christian principles:
a. Discuss what are the Biblical and ethical motivators for implementing such a diversity and inclusion initiative policy/program?
a. Insightful identification and thorough assessment of ethical repercussions or concerns.
