Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Performing a diversity audit will allow Xavier to gather data on the current state of diversity within the company and identify any areas where biases may be occurring. This will provide a more targeted approach to implementing a diversity program and help ensure its effectiveness. A diversity seminar and affirmative action strategy may be part of the overall program but may not address specific biases within the company. Instituting an old boys' network is not appropriate as it would only reinforce the lack of diversity and perpetuate biases.
