SUMMARY:"Building the Capacity to Attract and Retain Employees and Customers from Diverse Backgrounds"
DESCRIPTION:For businesses to remain viable as communities evolve and become more diverse\, they must enhance their ability to convey the genuine welcome that is central to attracting and retaining a diverse workforce and customer base.
