Statement of purpose
As you are aware, XYZ Jewelry has come a long way from the single shop initially opened by our two founders. With multiple retail locations across the United State, three major distribution centers, global suppliers, and aspirations to further expand both our supply chain and retail presence, we need to ensure that our employees throughout our organization can communicate and collaborate effectively.XYZ Jewelry staff reflects the changing makeup of the general population. Increasing diversity in ethnicity, culture, age, lifestyles, and religion can challenge an organization's ability to effectively work as a team. To address the increasing diversity within our organization and our commitment to provide a cohesive and comfortable work environment for all employees, we are initiating a training program to help all employees understand diversity and how it supports an effective organization. The goal of company leadership is to create an inclusive culture that celebrates individuality. To achieve this goal, our first step is to provide all employees with a basic understanding of diversity and why this diversity is important to our company. Ongoing training will continue to help employees become advocates for diversity.

Our training campaign will begin with a selected pilot group that includes representatives from :
 * Senior Leadership
 * Middle Management
 * Employees

The goals for this pilot training is to implement planned training to a representation of our employees prior to expanding the training to all employees. The goals for this training are as follows:
 * Create a definition of Diversity
 * Develop an understanding of why diversity is important to XYZ Jewelry
 * Learn about strategies that can help create an inclusive culture that supports diversity

Following the training, attendees will chose a specific personal strategy to examine and implement.
