Obtaining top management's leadership and commitment is critical for diversity programs to succeed. One way to communicate this commitment to all employees is to incorporate the organization's attitudes about diversity into the corporate mission statement and into strategic plans and objectives. Adequate funding must be allocated to the diversity effort to ensure its success.
