I\u2019m going to call them:<\/p>\n<p>1.  <em>Not a Problem.<\/em> Say nothing, except by implication.<\/p>\n<p>2. <em> Just the Facts.<\/em> Post a policy or statement.<\/p>\n<p>3. <em> Effectively Engaged.<\/em> Expand diversity messaging.<\/p>\n<p>4.<em> Devoted to Diversity.<\/em> Make diversity a major feature.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, the strategy selected should fit the company\u2014and realistically, the primary difference between a company that can use strategy 1 and a company that needs strategy 4 is size.  The relative diversity reputation of a company may also be a factor (for example, a company trying to make up for poor PR in this area may need to be more aggressive), and some industry sectors may require more diversity initiative than others.<\/p>\n<p>While none of the four strategies is inherently good or bad, each has both virtues and pitfalls.  Here\u2019s a quick summary of the pros and cons\u2014based on common sense and my own observations:<\/p>\n<table class=\"simpletable\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" width=\"490\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Strategy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Pro<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Con<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Not a Problem <\/em><\/td>\n<td>Suggests the company is confident about diversity.<\/td>\n<td>May suggest company does not care about diversity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Just the Facts<\/em><\/td>\n<td>Provides information without overemphasis.<\/td>\n<td>May appear to be merely lip service.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Effectively Engaged<\/em><\/td>\n<td>Demonstrates a significant commitment.<\/td>\n<td>Message may become fragmented.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Devoted to Diversity<\/em><\/td>\n<td>Makes it clear diversity is a primary value in the company.<\/td>\n<td>May appear to be patronizing, exploitative or exploitative.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To find examples, I visited three sites that I already like, on the assumption that they are probably doing the right thing!  And one more that\u2019s a diversity leader.
