Roundtable—Workplace Diversity
In the early 1990s, AWWA took stock of the water industry's workforce issues and tried to anticipate generational shifts and trends that might take root by the turn of the millennium through an effort called Workforce 2000. While some of the improvements identified at that time have been implemented, the water industry still faces many of the same challenges in 2017. From the current lack of family‐friendly benefits to the need for greater integration of women, minorities, and disabled and older workers, it would seem that, despite the dedicated efforts of some water professionals and overall changes in society, perhaps the original program should have been called Workforce 2050. As you read through the roundtable discussion of workplace diversity that follows, ask yourself ‐ how much have things changed in your own workplaces over the last 10 or 20 years, and further, what can we do, alone and collectively, to further improve workplace diversity and tolerance throughout the water industry?
