Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company is violating the criterion of "Full structural integration" as the proportion of minority personnel in the workforce and at the management level does not represent the proportion of ethnic minority individuals in the local community. Full structural integration requires that the organization reflects the diversity of the external community at all levels of the organization.
