Diversity’s Impact on The Careers of Non-Management White Males

A couple of years ago, View Magazine called our series, Diversity: Creating Success for Business and People "one of the best products about diversity on the market." And customers agreed!

Now, we can offer you a follow-up series from the same company, ARMC. Building a Diverse Workforce for the Global Millennium is a 20-volume series that covers a huge variety of diversity issues.
 
Each program also presents critical business concepts like building trust and respect, performance appraisals, team building and leadership.
