Lately I’ve heard the term “diversity fatigue” used to describe a) the genuine frustration that diversity programs at corporations haven’t made more progress, and b) the eye-rolling backlash against affirmative action.

Offering a fresher take, there’s a great post over at the NYTimes blog Shifting Careers called “Diversity at Work: More than Just Numbers” in which Marci Alboher interviews Natalie Holder-Winfield, an employment lawyer turned diversity consultant and author of Recruiting and Retaining a Diverse Workforce. The book, says Marci, is “a well-researched and eye-opening account of why minority employees flee workplaces even when employers have so-called diversity programs in place.”

Based on interviews with professionals from various backgrounds, Holder-Winfield seeks to provide managers, employees, and students with advice for navigating the overlay issues of cultural and generational diversity. The book looks great, but from a “making it pop” perspective, I kind of wish it had a catchier title. This one would be hard. I’m coming up dry. Which is probably why they went with the title they did?!
