In defining
innovation, we use Webster’s dictionary definition as
“effecting a change in the established order; the creating
of something new.” Innovations can be in the form of
new ideas, methods, services, or processes that improve the
quality of life or enhance productivity within an organization.
Diversity is defined as differences among people with respect
to age, class, ethnicity, gender, physical and mentally ability,
race, sexual orientation, spiritual practice, and any other
human difference.
These awards recognize innovations within the organization that
have been launched within the past TWO years, and have had an
influence and delivered a positive outcome on diversity management,
staff recruitment, and/or toward inclusiveness and improved
equity in the workplace.
Thank you once again for your continued support and participation,
and join us in congratulating all our partners in workforce
diversity.
