| Question: |
What is meant by “Diversity?” |
Answer: |
From Wikipedia:
“The 'business case for
diversity', theorizes that in a global marketplace, a company that
employs a diverse workforce (both men and women, people of many
generations, people from ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds
etc.) is better able to understand the demographics of the marketplace
it serves and is thus better equipped to thrive in that marketplace
than a company that has a more limited range of employee demographics.
An additional corollary suggests that a company that supports the
diversity of its workforce can also improve employee satisfaction,
productivity and retention. This portion of the business case, often
referred to as inclusion, relates to how an organization utilizes its
various relevant diversities. If a workforce is diverse, but the
employer takes little or no advantage of that breadth of that
experience, then it cannot monetize whatever benefits background
diversity might offer.
US employers are prohibited by federal and state laws from giving race
or ethnicity any consideration in hiring or assigning employees, no
matter what the purported profit motive for doing so.”

| Question: |
What is the difference between “Hispanic” and “Latino?” |
Answer: |
Both terms refer those with a cultural background roughly defined by the use of the Spanish language. Because this can include many subcultures and national origins, including the U.S., it is impossible to strictly define these terms. In the end, these two terms are roughly equivalent for employment purposes. |
