with human resource department processes and development.
§ Discuss a time at your workplace when you experienced or observed
discrimination. Include a brief description of the event and the work environment
the discrimination occurred (Omit identifying demographic information and use
fictitious names as needed.) (If you have ever been subjected to or observed
another being discriminated at your present place of employment or a prior, tell
about that information. Just a brief explanation of what happened. If you haven’t
and know a family or friend who has, you can write a brief description about that.
If NEITHER apply, it is OK, please continue on with the rest of the assignment)
§ Federal and state legislation that supports fair workplace practices (Tell what

§ The responsibilities of human resource managers and their implications
concerning race, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual or religious
beliefs, and disabilities (Research this or you should find in your text)
§ How risk management strategies support equity within the workplace (What is
risk management? Why is it important in agencies? Research this or you should
find in your text)

workers and for management of human service organizations (How do diversity
issues affect the agency? Research this or you should find in your text)
§ How this experience or observation may influence issues of diversity with your
own original Dream Agency Idea or for Your Learning Team’s choice for the
Dream Agency and Presentation in Week 5. (If you had an experience or saw
discrimination, how will this influence you with your practices with the Team’s
chosen Dream Agency? It may not at all, but there may be things you want to add
in your Human resources dept. or you may not change a thing. If you have not
witnessed or experienced anything, speculate on what you would like to include)
