Abstract
Contemporary organizations, in an effort to reap the benefits of a diverse workforce, continue to spend millions of dollars on diversity training despite the tendency of such training to either fail or result in less than desired outcomes. We introduce an alternative, strategic approach to organizational diversity designed to create a more inclusive “culture of diversity.”This long‐term, relational approach emphasizes an attitudinal and cultural transformation, requiring managers to “break barriers” by moving away from “managing diversity” toward “managing for diversity” to capitalize on the unique perspectives of a diverse workforce. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
