This document contains three papers presented at a symposium on diversity in the workplace moderated by Sandra Johnson at the 1996 conference of the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD). "Diversity and Development: An Assessment of Equal Opportunities and the Role of HRD in the Police Service" (Rashmi Biswas, Penny Dick) examines aspects of the relationship between organizational culture and human resources management through a study of a large British police constabulary. It explores difficulties that organizations with an exclusionary culture face when trying to implement equal opportunity policies. "Leadership Development in Multiracial Organizations" (Larry G. Martin) uses a multiple-perspective case analysis approach to provide an in-depth analysis of a leader's actions to address diversity problems within a multiracial organization and to identify the extent to which that leader used a multiframe approach to leadership. "HRD Initiatives Contributing to Women's Career Progress" (Kimberly S. McDonald, Linda M. Hite) presents the findings of an exploratory study examining factors that influence women's access to management development and discusses how four major human resource development (HRD) initiatives (training, career development, mentoring, and overseas assignments) may assist women's advancement. Papers contain references. (MN)
