After starting intentional efforts to include more people of color in its workforce, a pharmaceutical company is experiencing a few staff members not showing much support for these efforts. Some of them have questioned the extra work required to include people of minority and other under-represented groups in its workforce. Some of them expressed the belief that this may be a type of reverse discrimination against qualified candidates from the majority population, and that it will result in less qualified people as part of its workforce. How can the organization's leadership address such reactions and attitudes?
