Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the issue of equal employment for all, irrelevant of race, color, gender or sexual preference. It focuses on the policy of Southwest Airlines and sees how this company has managed to maintain a very good record in this regard.

From the Paper:

"No company is perfect. And no company is entirely without bias on the part of all of its supervisors towards the members of every culturally or socially distinct group of workers. But certainly some companies try harder than others to promote ideals of diversity in the workforce (so that that workforce reflects the diversity and talents of American society at large). An important part of an emphasis on a diverse workforce is an insistence that workers be free of harassment at the workplace because of their sex, sexual orientation or race.

"Southwest Airlines has a relatively good record on gender issues, as shall be discussed in this paper. Company officials seem, in the past decade, to have taken the entire idea of the importance of diversity in the workplace very much to heart."
