When organizations are confronted with a lack of diversity, be it gender diversity or racial diversity or generational diversity-mindset/idea diversity you know the young vs older ratio. When this happens, some organizations tend to respond or need I say, react to the issue by opening the door for a token person, by offering a seat at the table to a token person. You know, that one woman in the C-suite, that one young person in a position of leadership, that one minority leader-racially speaking in the directorate. Tokenism is the practice of making only a symbolic effort to be inclusive to members of minority groups, in order to give the appearance of equality within a workforce. Today we will be exploring the perils of tokenism and how it is ultimately bad for business.
