MANAGING TALENT: General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity

 


 General motor changed drastically by enabling women and minorities to
participate in management positions.  What GM did can influence other companies to do
the same.  For example, the way employees contribute with their work. Having different ideas
and opinions can have bigger productivity.

General Motors had promised to promote women and minorities into
management positions, they succeeded its commitment to diversity by representing various
 groups in leadership positions. There are some companies that are managed by women.
For example, "General Motors Reported Naming First Female CEO Mary Barra (THE
WASHINGTON POSTJena McGregor)."
  
          General Motors have an assumption that when employees feel fully accepted for who they
are, they will feel free to contribute their talents more fully at work. I agree because they
are going to feel more comfortable with themselves and get along with others without having
other people judging them for who they are and not for what they bring to the table. They will be
 more motivated and are able to share  more ideas without worrying about what others might
say.
