Exploring the bounds of diversity Diversity Executive magazine Share    
Diversity executives can play an important role in advancing diversity strategy in complementary fields that lie slightly outside the workplace periphery. "As the chief diversity officer [or] owner for diversity within any organization, you're looking for every opportunity you can to synergize, integrate [and] coordinate your efforts with other parts of the organization," said Kenneth Charles, vice president of diversity and inclusion for General Mills. "When you think about things like community relations and supplier diversity, those are close cousins to the work we do in diversity and inclusion. If your aspiration is to be a company of choice, then to make that happen you have to do some things." More Flex in flux Human Resource Executive Online Share
Nearly all employers offer some type of workplace-flexibility program, but few train employees on how to successfully utilize such initiatives or managers on how to successfully work with employees who have flexible schedules. Too often, workers fear asking for flexibility, experts say. More Evacuees fear throwback to atomic-bomb discrimination The Wall Street Journal Share
Rescue teams from two prefectures rejected requests last week to help move patients near the nuclear power plants in Fukushima, citing safety concerns about radiation exposure.

Debunking the 'affirmative-action myth' DiversityInc Share
Anti-affirmative-action advocate Ward Connerly, who is best known for leading the state-to-state war to roll back affirmative action, told an audience of CEOs and senior executives at a DiversityInc learning event in Washington, D.C., that he is a crusader for "a color-blind society." He argued that dismantling affirmative action will force the government to treat all its citizens equally regardless of their racial background. But that stance doesn't account for who has really benefited most from affirmative action over the years. More Americans staying in workforce longer Reuters Share
So much for early retirement. Cash-strapped Americans aged 55 and older are staying in the workforce longer and even returning to work because of inadequate Social Security benefits and lagging retirement plans, a study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute finds. The trend could lead to a dramatically different workplace dynamic — a shift that brings both pros and cons, researchers say. More
Recovery leaves women behind The Baltimore Sun Share
It became known as the "mancession" because the recent downturn battered industries dominated by men. But the economic battle of the sexes has taken a turn. While the nation's nascent recovery has been slow and bumpy for just about everyone, it has been almost nonexistent for women. More Wellness and workplace productivity Chicago Tribune Share
Fitness and nutrition are hot topics these days, due in part to a soaring obesity rate in the United States, and workplace wellness is no exception. Why?

Hospital refuses to hire smokers Boston Globe Share
A Michigan hospital says it refuses to hire smokers, going so far as to test applicants for nicotine before allowing them to work there. Two workers were already recently turned down for employment at Crittenton Hospital in Rochester after testing positive for nicotine. They're following the lead of Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport, which implemented the policy last December. More New employers' body will support holistic diversity approach People Management Magazine Online Share
It is time for all employers to view diversity holistically rather than in single strands such as race or gender, according to the founder of a new employer body Inclusive Employers (IE). Founder and IE director Rachel Krys, who was formerly the campaigns director of the Employers' Forum on Age, says many employers had already adopted this fresh approach and she had set up the new organization in response to their calls for support and advice.

Workplace discrimination bills considered by Missouri lawmakers would hurt employees Kansas City Star Share
I've said it before: Workplace discrimination is the evil twin of workplace diversity, writes Kansas City Star columnist Michele T. Johnson. That's why when most people ask me personally and professionally about specific incidents of diversity, they are really asking about specific speculations or experiences of discrimination. And that's why Missouri House Bill 205 and Senate Bill 188 are particularly controversial bills. More Detroit baby boomers become latest interns; while HR managers seek Gen Y workers The Oregonian Share
