Organization Development Case Analysis and Blind Spots
I. Case Analysis
What should Cruz do after getting the negative reactions?
1.) Since Cruz applied for the company and thus currently working in it, what he should do is, follow the rules and regulations of the work place. As much as the company respects the safety and welfare of its workers, you must follow through its regulations, in the assumption that you as a worker is aware of the company rules before you apply. With regards to the discriminations I would suggest MR Cruz to report incidents of discriminations against him to the higher ups.
How should the company deal with this situation?
2.) In today’s generation, the LGBTQ community is close to being accepted in
society. It is best for the company to adapt to a modern approach with regards to handling its employees who are a member of the LGBTQ community such as Mr. Cruz. Thus if the Company still persists to adapt the traditional practices such as always taking into consideration the diversity among 2 sexes, it would only encourage and cause more future problems such as the case at bar. I would suggest the company to adapt new policies regarding discrimination in diversity in the workplace and provide appropriate sanctions for violating such policies, from warning to outright termination. Not only policies must be implemented but, seminars and teambuilding exercises must be done in the company in addressing this particular issue in the workplace.
II. Blind Spots
How do blind spots affect our views on diversity and inclusion?
The problem with blind spots regarding diversity is that it is being sort of inherent in the minds of all to see the differences between individuals, which enables them to create barriers and rifts. What happens is that people tend to be unconsciously judging other people negatively based on the diversity that exist between them, in which we perceive these individuals as incapable persons in a particular field. What happens is that if individuals keep on being blinded by these misconceptions and judgment, as time goes by this will only build up judgments and misconceptions that form structures, which eventually become a norm. By accepting these blind spots, we become more open minded with regards to the different set of skills each individual possess, disregarding differences. It would promote a better inclusive relationship between individuals. In which we encourage different perspectives among other people, diverse networks, which leads to a better outcomes. We see people who they really are and their unlimited potentials which is why we should accept our blind spots
