CareerBuilder.com

Twenty years ago, you may have been hard pressed to find a company that employed women or minorities in senior management positions, if at all. Today, you'd be less likely to find otherwise: 28 percent of employers have more than five women in senior management positions and 18 percent of employers have more than five people of an ethnic minority in senior management positions, according to a 2008 CareerBuilder.com diversity survey. Diversity can have a considerable influence on how your organization is perceived by others and, as a result, more and more companies are making diversity a core value or a business imperative.
