Racial discrimination suit (A) questions
What are the critical issues surrounding the newly released tape?
Racial slurs and stating intentions to destroy evidence, threatened exacerbate Texaco’s already mounting minority related issues.
How should Peter Bijur and Texaco respond to the allegations? How should the company respond to publicity?
Peter Bijur and Texaco should respond to the allegations by first addressing the allegations to the public and give the appropriate decisions to take to investigate the allegations in Texaco. The company should inform the public about the allegations and the underway plans to solve the charges against them.
Should the employees be addressed separately from the general public? How can Texaco mend fences with minority employees and customers?
The employees should first be addressed separately from the general public. This is because the problems they are facing can only be addressed by Texaco which is their employer, there are terms and conditions that must be looked at in their contract of employment. Texaco can mend the fences with the minority employees and customers by either apologizing, making reparations to them or both.
What would be an effective corporate strategy in dealing with encouraging diversity in the workplace?
Enhancing the selection, interviewing and hiring skills of managers, expansion of overall college recruitment and use of search firms with records of recruiting from a wide range of key competencies
Racial discrimination suit (B) questions
How would you rate the effectiveness of Texaco’s to the allegations of racial discrimination?
Texaco’s response to the racial discrimination allegations was effective. This because in order to settle the filed lawsuit in the court, it paid the expenses of salary adjustments and the expenses to the plaintiffs. If Texaco opted to case, more time, reduction of customers and resources would be lost.
Did Texaco’s response address the core problems and issues surrounding racial discrimination and prejudice at the company?
Texaco’s response did not address the core problems and issues that were surrounding racial discrimination and prejudice at the company. The reparations made were only salary problems and racial discrimination was not addressed after giving a list of what to do so as to attract and retain highly capable workforce.
If you were Peter Bijur, what would you have done differently?
What I would have done different from Peter Bijur would be not expel the two managers who were found guilty rather than suspending them for some time. I would have also made changes in the human resource department by bringing new fresh blood, promote and demote some managers.
What kind of company policies can affect long term change in diversity in a corporate culture such as Texaco?
