The Tattoo Debate: Are You Judging Candidates by Their Qualifications or Their Body Art?: One of the issues that I’ve tackled over and over again in my years of writing about and talking about diversity is the issue of tattoos.

What HR Can Learn about Diversity from "Angry Birds": I'm a huge believer that life is just one big metaphor. A metaphor explained by a good analogy. On a long recent train trip without access to WiFi, it hit me that the game Angry Birds is a lot like workplace diversity. read more

Should A Diversity Checklist Be On Your To-Do List?: To some, it will look like an Orwellian attempt to monitor how people live. But really, a diversity checklist is a painless way to encourage people to be open to the differences of others, with the hope that this transfers into accepting differences in the workplace. read more
