Targets at any cost
Aargh! It's happening again. Government Targets driving employers to think the only way that diversity can be achieved in the workforce will be through a introducing positive discrimination.
Martin Tiplady at the Met has gone on record to say that positive discrimination is the only way they will achieve their employment target. There are no doubt a number of factors that lead to this conclusion, but the Diva doubts positive discrimination can be the real answer.
Push for the quick fix if its a numbers game, but be warned 'success' will be short lived. How many people want to be the token square peg squeezed into the round hole?
Address culture and perceptions and diversity will fall into place.
Chase a target for targets sake and you might win a race, but will never get the prize.
