Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By holding focus groups to gather information on employee perceptions of women and minorities in the workplace, Pattie's Pancakes is actively working towards building a corporate culture that values diversity. This is an important step in creating a workplace that is inclusive and welcoming to all employees. Sensitivity training may also be a part of this process, but it is not directly addressed in this scenario. Changing the current organizational design or structure may not necessarily address issues related to diversity and inclusion, so these options are less likely to be relevant.
