Litigation Costs Millions
Avoiding litigation should be one of your companys strongest motivations
for implementing diversity.
Racial discrimination settlements often range into the millions of dollars
in fees and settlements, in addition to lingering damage to the companys
image and sales for years afterward.
- Coca-Cola recently paid out over $192 million in a discrimination
suit.
- Chicago-based Commonwealth Edison has agreed to pay six former and
current Hispanic employees $2.5 million to settle a lawsuit alleging
discrimination in promotions.
Is there a reason why your company is not advertising on LatPro, the
largest, most visited site for Hispanic professionals? You probably
have an ad or two on some generic diversity recruiting site, but will
this hold much weight if you were to be faced with a discrimination suit
by Hispanic employees? Recent history would say no.
