Diversity Management by Jannick Friis Christensen https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement What is diversity, what is management, and are the two compatible - why/not? en-us 2018-11-20 09:48:39 UTC 2018-11-22 13:25:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306318933 Lecture 20/11/2018

- key takeaways
 - understanding that diversity in the workforce is not necessarily a good thing if the diverse people are labeled as just that, diverse, making that the token minority in the organisation

-  The importance of managing diversity; letting in different voices in your organisation without letting those voices be heard, or changing the voice into something familiar by demanding homogeneity defeats the purpose of diversity

- the idea of the core unconscious bias carried and how it affects the above scenarios

What is diversity? How is it being managed? Are we approaching it in the right way? 
The course also makes me feel that we talk a lot about gender and it's fine but when I think about diversity I think about a multicultural work environment. I feel that countries such a Denmark and other Scandinavian countries focus so much on the topic of gender, when I feel the most urgent matter is to create equal opportunities regardless of your ethnicity or your educational/professional background. I want to know how to change stereotyping and bias and put everyone at the same level.

Diversity is embedded in the context. Diversity is nothing in it self, but it is how people make meaning of it that matters. Management can become obsessed with the idea of diversity without an actual goal of diversity. ]]> 2018-11-20 13:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319756 Just a thought https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319809 Memes and metaphors does make things easier to understand.]]> 2018-11-20 13:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319809 Taken away from class https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319838 The idea of fixing diversity issues in an organization by, for instance, hiring more women or mentoring new aspirants to manage in the traditional ways is not evolving the organization. If no new input is being introduced, then no change has occured. This can be related to how large corporations hire women to a "man's" position rather than creating a new position specifically designed to women, is not a path towards real diversity, only a manifestation of false diversity. ]]> 2018-11-20 13:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319838 What I have learned about DCM: https://padlet.com/jannick2/diversitymanagement/wish/306319957 - concept often treated too deterministic / vague / narrow
- constructive and not a finite concept
- strong psychological/philosphical aspects
- diversity is what you make of it

-       A more critical perspective on diversity management – can it really be managed? 
-       Building on the critical diversity management literature – questioning what really is diversity rather than just questioning motives for managing diversity 
-       Realising there is an underlying assumption in DM literature that diversity can be managed

It  doesn’t question diversity management as a strategy, but in terms of what this is as a phenomenon and what actually is the relational signifiers of the term.
Diversity management is more than just about minorities and discrimination, it is a lack of something in organisations, that it desires.
In organisations, it is interesting to see who does the diversity management (who is the agency of diversity management) and what actions are taken for it. For should it be the minorities that do diversity for the sake of it, or should it be those who do not have this diversity.
