Diversity does not end with hiring people from different backgrounds, it is important to use those talents as an asset to make them translate positively in your bottom line!

  By performing this survey simultaneously in many companies the information will be more valuable to each of them. This approach also allows for the price to be way below standard consulting prices.

Goals:

To collect valid and accurate information on the PERCEPTIONS of:

• The non-Hispanic Americans about the Hispanic people at work

• The Hispanic people about work and their vision for the future of the Hispanic Community in this region

It is very important to note that we are interested in perceptions, which are the basis for prejudice, which is one of the root causes for lack of integration of a culture. We are not looking for absolute truths or hard numbers but perceptions that may become an obstacle to the productive integration of the Hispanic Community.

This information will be useful:

• To determine if the Hispanic Community is integrated in main stream Business America and to what extent

• To prepare programs tailored to address the real gaps between the working Hispanic Community, their employers and co-workers.

• To identify the variables to monitor this integration during a time span (the next decade) and lead corrective actions

Our main goal is to gather information to put focus on whatever may be an obstacle to the Hispanic productive integration to the region.
