Abstract
Data indicate that today′s business organizations are focusing on diversity as a way of increasing their effectiveness and competitiveness. There is every indication that women will be an increasing percentage of the workplace at all levels. Previews the important role women play as members of diversity consulting teams. Gender‐balanced consulting teams model gender diversity, help clients see women as credible resources, and women consultants model effective skills in confronting female‐biased behaviours. Women′s inclusion in consulting teams can also help balance interpersonal support for personal growth and communication styles which offer greater flexibility and effectiveness to both organizational and individual clients. While citing supportive research, also uses anecdotal support from diversity consultants.
