The United States of America was built by a diverse group of people. The strength, resilience, and richness of the United States of America are based on the diversity of its citizens. Everyone is equal in worth, and is entitled to the same privileges and opportunities regardless of their age, national origin, disability, gender, or race. Each of us has our own unique background and talents.
Diversity creates an organization that is enriched with people from different cultures and that have different experiences, lifestyles, backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. A diverse workforce:
- recognizes and values talent.
- eliminates barriers and ensures that all employees are treated fairly and have the chance to reach their maximum potential.
- encourages the exchange of ideas which not only broadens the scope of problem solving, but also improves the possibility that the problems will be solved.
In order to solve the Nation's agricultural research problems, the best possible workforce is desired and needed. ARS is committed to building and maintaining a diverse, high-quality workforce. Diversity amplifies quality in research and administration often leading to newer and better products and outcomes. The impact of diversity increases with time as new employees from under represented groups progress through the ranks of an organization.
