Layers of Diversity - The Four Layers of Diversity - Gardenswartz and Rowe

• Personality - Unique to each individual—style and characteristics, preferences, perceptions, behavioral predispositions, cognitive and learning styles—influenced by, outer layers.
• Internal dimensions – Aspects assigned at birth, have little control, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, ethnicity, race, and age.
• External dimensions - Life experiences and choices, geographic location, income, personal habits, recreational habits, religion, education, work experiences, appearance, marital status, and parental status.
• Organizational dimensions - Similarities and differences individual’s position in the organization. functional level or classification; content or field of work; division, department, unit, or group; seniority; work location; union affiliation; and management status.

Four dynamics work against organizational inclusiveness

• Covering - out group employees, try to conform.
• Prototypes for success - a “similarity bias” tends to reward with assignments, promotions, etc. who share the same traits as management.
• Bias-based exclusion - discriminatory treatment of minority employees.
• Majority backlash - majority feeling excluded from the benefits of diversity initiatives.

Covering

Occurs when an organization recruits a diverse workforce but, promotes assimilation rather than inclusion. Covering four dimensions:

• Appearance - Adjusting their attire, grooming, and mannerisms to “blend in.”
• Affiliation - Avoiding behaviors associated with their “identity group” (culture, ethnic minority, sexual orientation).
• Advocacy - Avoiding engaging in advocacy on behalf of their identity group.
• Association - Avoiding associating with members of their identity group.
