Description This unit examines the ways in which organisations manage a heterogenous workforce and the legal and ethical issues associated with the management of workforce diversity. While drawing on international literature in the field, the primary focus is on the Australian experience, including the so-called \\\'program\\\' approach and the complaint mechanism found in the anti-discrimination statutes.As well as encouraging the development of diagnostic and prescriptive skills in diversity management, students also have the opportunity to develop a critical perspective on the growing literature in this field.
