From the Paper:

"While Steak and Ale understands that employees are representatives to its costumer base in order to remain competitive, they do not practice integrating diversity into the overall business strategy. Yes, they hire people of all origin, but they do not address systems or processes for recruitment, retention, promotion, mentoring, or leadership. It is not enough to just talk about diversity, or conduct a few training sessions without making significant changes to the culture of the organization from the top down."
