Underrepresented employee groups in the workplace face a number of challenges that can impede their career mobility, workplace satisfaction, and productivity. There are cases where organizations experience a higher-than-normal voluntary turnover rate of these employee groups. While many organizations have policies and procedures to create respectful workplaces that recognize and reward high-performing employees, it appears that more needs to be done to ensure underrepresented employees feel valued by the organization. These employees are at a heightened risk to leave an organization due to unfair treatment (stereotypes, bias, harassment, bullying, micro-inequities, etc.). Professional Coaching services offered from coaches with knowledge, skills, and abilities in diversity and cross-cultural coaching techniques are one way to combat these challenges for the affected individual and organization. This paper looks at the salient literature on “diversity and cross-cultural coaching” in order to apply it to today’s diverse and multicultural workplaces. Specifically, the goal of this work is to apply this specialized coaching to Senior Leadership in organizations that desire to build inclusive workplaces through strategic programs aimed at accelerating the careers of targeted minority employees oftentimes judged by a different set of rules than employees from an organization’s dominant group.

The purpose of this paper is to explore attitudes/behaviors to equality and non-discrimination
(EQND) laws and the consequent impact of legislation on employment relations practice in
organizations within the European Union (including the UK). Although all member states have adopted equality laws in line with the directives of EU employment discrimination law, organizational
compliance is largely voluntary as many states lack the means (or desire) to develop
legitimate enforcement mechanisms. Without voluntary organizational compliance, the onus
is on employees to resolve EQND violations through silence, departure, or lawsuits – this is
especially true for non-unionized employees who usually lack access to formal voice
mechanisms. Show less
