Study: Businesses Can Do More to Attract, Retain Black Employees
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
More minorities than ever are joining the U.S. work force and American businesses can do more to accommodate them — especially African Americans, say researchers at the University of Michigan Business School and Florida A&M University.
Compared with their White counterparts, African American workers have lower levels of job satisfaction and commitment to their employers, the researchers say. Despite demographic changes in the work force and intense competition for recruiting and retaining the best workers, companies have little understanding of workplace practices valued by minority employees, they say.
