Select one of the benefits Ms. Abreu identified and summarize your understanding of the benefit and why you believe this benefit is import. Use the recommended articles to support your arguments and views. Be sure to explain your ideas and support your arguments fully. And last, what does do these benefits mean to you as an HRM? What policies might you develop and implement as HRM to ensure your company achieves these benefits?

Question 2: Web search please!

Visit the website http://www.diversityinc.com and find their latest “top 50 list.” What criteria are used to evaluate companies that appear on this list? What are the top five companies for the current year? Develop a brief commentary about the site. What do you think about the articles available here?

Question 3: One more time!

Read the bulletted information carefully in the KEY TAKEAWAYS section of Chapter 3 on pages 22 and 23 and then visit the www.eeoc.gov site as instructed in the Exercises section. Develop your thoughtful responses to the two questions posed in the text. 1) Explain the methods an employee can use in filing a complaint with the EEOC. 2) If an employer is found to have discriminated, what are some of the “remedies” listed on the EEOC site?
