There are many strategies available today to address diversity issues in the workplace. Significant diversity issues that a company can face may include a lack of acceptance or respect between employees, gender equality, little accommodation for varying beliefs, lack of accommodation for physical disabilities, and generational gaps.
The interviewer would like to know if you have ever deployed strategies to address any workplace diversity issues. If you are an experienced manager in a larger organization, you may have more experience in this area; however, any management level can take actions - big or small - to improve company diversity efforts. When you answer this question, be as direct and specific as possible. Questions surrounding diversity and inclusion are no time to give a vague or wishy-washy response.

"As an HR Manager for a mid-level organization, I must be conscious of potential biases occurring in the workplace. This year I led our company in a new technology implementation meant to reduce bias in the talent screening, hiring, and evaluation processes. As a result, our hiring process has become fair to genders, races, religions, and other social categories. I approached this issue by presenting data on hiring bias and gaining input from my team regarding ways they felt they could actively contribute to making change. I was able to gain excitement from my team members and value the ideas they brought forward. As a result, we have seen a significant increase in diversity hires and a boost in overall company morale."
