Diversity has been a driving force of our company and has helped us to succeed in the field of manufacturing. The need for diversity in the workplace is evident in the pending changes of those available to the workforce. The workforce is changing and will continue to change as the population changes. America’s dramatic population change includes the fact that ethnic populations will grow seven times faster than the white population, English isnot the primary language of many workers as Spanish, and Asian languages are growing in dominance (Films on Demand, 1994). Hancock understands that there is value in diversity, as diversity brings value and creativity to the marketplace (Films on Demand, 1994). Hancock is committed to a diverse workplace and values the different contributions made to the workplace through a diverse employment pool. Here at Hancock Manufacturing we employee individuals from 24 different companies, 60% of our management team are comprised of women and minorities, and we actively recruit at Historically Black Universities and Colleges (Johnson, Vance, Ferguson, & Clark, 2011). Minorities have become the majority in the workplace and organizations must attract and retain minorities through principled managed strategies (Films on Demand, 1994) with one those strategies being globalization.GlobalizationHuman Resources Brochure 6Globalization refers to the reduction of international barriers through a joining of the world’s resources such as people and economies.

Acknowledging these and other issues will allow Hancock to embrace the countries they have expanded to and show a genuine appreciation for those individuals from those areas that have joined their workforce. This type of appreciation is a form of motivation and inspires company loyalty and dedication to the achievement of work goals. This type of motivation coupled with technology advances allow the employees of Hancock Manufacturing to
