‘Organisations are endowed with varying degrees of diversity but this variety is often unexploited’ Gender, Race and Ethnicity have become much of a cliché in relation to institutional discriminatory practices. However, socio-political and economic dynamics have propelled ‘inclusion’ to a ‘survival imperative’. It is a fact that modern organisations make constant effort to improve their effectiveness. This effort incorporates their search for new and innovative ways of operating, necessitating the efficient utilisation of their resources. Efficient utilisation of the workforce means that the organisation values the contribution that diversity can make to the accomplishment of their objectives. Despite the existence of elements of diversity in organisations, some have largely disregarded their importance. Recently, however, many practitioners, consultants and academics have agreed that the diversity within organisations can be exploited to the benefit of organisational effectiveness. This paper, drawing on empirical evidence from qualitative and quantitative analyses, charts organisational failings, through under-capitalisation of vital resources, pointing to alternatives for enhanced effectiveness. While citing specific cases where effective diversity management could have spared organisations economic catastrophe, it presents evidence of establishments, internationally, that have succeeded, in this regard, thereby enhancing their effectiveness. While existing empirical evidence of effective utilisation and under-utilisation of a diverse workforce is meta-analysed, new evidence is produced from a large UK organisation as a demonstration of the intensity of the problem. Data elicitation techniques include questionnaire administration and interviews. All quantitative data is comparatively analysed, chi-squared, with the level of significance taken at p < 0.05 (see Wisniewski and Stead, 1996; Kanji, 1993; Lapin, 1990; and Cass, 1973). It finds that the case study organisation is inherently biased, with regard to gender, race and ethnicity. Consequently, it is deprived of the contribution that its diverse workforce can make to its effectiveness. Specifically, it fails to draw on the valuable marketing intelligence that diversity affords. Mindful of the need for organisations to have ‘social conscience’ it reminds them of their legal obligation towards diversity, advising of the political, social and economic implications of their actions. It implores organisations to ‘exploit’ the opportunity that diversity presents, for the long-term effectiveness of the enterprise.

HRODC Postgraduate Diploma Typology HRODC would like to initiate and maintain a typology that will distinguish between its 3 main categories of Postgraduate Diploma: 1. HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma 2. HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma 3. HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma
HRODC General Postgraduate Diploma refers to the Postgraduate Diploma, which consists of generic courses, taken within a three-year period. HRODC Specialist Postgraduate Diploma must be construed to mean a Postgraduate Diploma that consists of related courses. These include: HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Human Resource Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Executive Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Real Estate Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Women in Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Comprehensive Project Management; HRODC Postgraduate Diploma in Communication and Information Management. HRODC Cumulative Postgraduate Diploma relates to a Diploma that is granted through the addition of courses taken at intervals over a 3-year period. This type of Postgraduate Diploma might include both General and Specialist groupings. The requirement incorporates the ‘180-HourRule’, wherein a delegate should accumulate at least 180 study-hours, in order to qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma. This requirement includes a minimum of 120 hours Direct Lecturer Contact and a minimum of 60 hours supervised or self-directed study. HRODC’s Quality Assurance The 50% minimum attainment requirement for the HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - is an attestation to our concern for quality and exceptional performance. This ‘standard’ is in line with most British Universities, some having recently moved away from their traditional 40% attainment requirement. One of the several ways in which HRODC assures academic and professional quality is to ensure that most of its consultants hold a PHD in the their areas of specialism. The lowest qualification of any consultant at HRODC is an MA and, or, MSc. These qualifications are in addition to relevant experience and continuous development. While most applicants to HRODC Postgraduate Diploma and HRODC Diploma - Postgraduate - Programmes are holders of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees, some being Professors of internationally renowned Universities, others do not hold a degree but have substantial work and life experience to excel in the courses. In addition, HRODC has instituted the ‘180-HourRule’, wherein a delegate should accumulate at least 180 study-hours, in order to qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma. This requirement includes a minimum of 120 hours Direct Lecturer Contact and a minimum of 60 hours supervised or self-directed study. Specialist Diploma such as the HRODC ‘Postgraduate Diploma in Executive Management’ consists of 540 hours. In addition to the above, HRODC has incorporated the following additional Quality measures in its Postgraduate Degree Programme – These can also be found in the document Regulation For HRODC Postgraduate Degrees – MBA, MA, MSc Programmes1. The length of the Dissertation will be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Higher or lower limits can only be accepted through special dispensation, tabled through their Dissertation Tutor; 2. Delegates will be assigned one Main Dissertation Supervisor, for formal tuition, and a Dissertation Mentor, who will provide them with informal advice, in conjunction with their Main Dissertation Supervisor; 3. Delegates’ Viva Voce, or Oral, Examination will be conducted within 3 months of the submission of their Dissertation; 4. The Dissertation Examination will be conducted by an External and an Internal Examiner; 5. The External Examiner will be drawn from a recognized University and will be an Academic in the Discipline, who is not otherwise associated with HRODC; 6. The Internal Supervisor will be an HRODC Tutor, who is neither Delegates’ Main Dissertation Supervisor or their Dissertation Mentor; 7. The submission date of a Masters Dissertation is expected to be within 12 calendar months of their initial registration for the Degree but can be extended, on application, to a period not exceeding 24 months; 8. In the event that Delegates were not successful on the first attempt, they will be given the opportunity to make minor amendment to, or revise, their Dissertation, with the guidance of their Dissertation Supervisors.
