NURS6221 Influence of Diversity and Inclusion on Organizational Culture
NURS6221 Influence of Diversity and Inclusion on Organizational Culture
Note: You will begin this Assignment in Week 8 and it will be due by Day 7 of Week 9. Plan your time accordingly.
There was a time when diversity might be gauged by physical differences alone, and being included might be considered inclusion enough. However, changing perspectives on diversity and inclusion require a broader look at what each means, as well as the significance of each. This Module Assignment involves researching two healthcare organizations of your choice for the state of diversity and inclusion, and impact on the culture of each organization.
You will consider how—and how well—each healthcare organization is leveraging diversity and inclusion as human resource management strategies to achieve organizational goals. You will illustrate your findings and conclusions in a PowerPoint presentation that you might share with current colleagues or save for future reference.
To Prepare:
Identify two healthcare organizations to compare. These may be two healthcare settings in which you have worked or are otherwise familiar with, such as through experiences of people you know well, or reliable resources, including Learning Resources in both weeks of this module.
Compare the terms “diversity” and “inclusion,” how each is defined, and the influence of each on the culture of a healthcare organization.
For each organization, research to identify the dimensions of diversity and degree of inclusion (e.g., race, ethnicity, language, gender, age, religious beliefs, disabilities, as well as others described in the resources you use). Consider evidence you would use in assessing each organization and in comparing your views of each. Specifically, what would you look for to assess the level of diversity and concerns regarding inclusion? How would you go about obtaining this information? For example, on an organization’s website, look for mission statements on diversity and inclusion; employee forums addressing equity issues; and task forces on improving diversity and inclusion, or meeting related goals.
Based on your research, reflect on the culture of each organization as it relates to issues of diversity and inclusion. Speculate on how diversity and inclusion issues affect, positively and negatively, such areas as:
Organizational performance

Staff morale
Patient care
Business case for diversity and inclusion
Compare your evidence and insights on each organization for conclusions on the influence of diversity and inclusion within healthcare organizations.
Reflect on leadership roles in healthcare organizations, including nurse executives, in supporting and promoting greater diversity and inclusion in healthcare settings.
Assignment:
Using the Template document provided, create a PowerPoint presentation that compares the two organizations you researched and highlights your conclusions on the impact of diversity and inclusion in each organization. Prepare 10–12 slides, plus Title and Reference slides, to include the following:
Define “diversity” and “inclusion” as applied to your presentation that will compare two healthcare organizations.Describe the two healthcare organizations you are comparing, including type and degree of diversity and inclusion, as well as organization type, size, location, and other distinguishing factors. Include supporting sources.
Analyze the culture of the two healthcare organizations and how each is influenced by diversity and inclusion.
Compare the cultures of the two healthcare organizations based on the role of diversity and inclusion in each, and strengths and weaknesses that relate to or derive from the degree of diversity and inclusion.
Summarize your conclusions on the impact of diversity and inclusion on organizational culture in healthcare settings based on your comparison.
Apply leadership strategies for a nurse executive to promote greater diversity, retain diverse staff members, and build cohesive teams and work groups.
Influence of Diversity and Inclusion on Organizational Culture
Note: You began this Assignment in Week 8. Plan your time accordingly to complete a PowerPoint presentation of 10–12 slides, plus Title and References slides, by Day 7 of Week 9.
The emergence of the Chief Diversity Officer within some healthcare organizations may be among the strongest evidence that the push for greater diversity and inclusion must include those at the top—both as advocates and representing greater diversity themselves.
Senior-level support is required to promote shifts in organizational culture that enable the organization to realize the benefits of diversity and inclusion.
As a nurse executive, your leadership role will afford opportunities to strategize on improving and sustaining diversity and inclusion to develop the most able teams and achieve the best patient care. As you complete your Module Assignment this week, consider where and how you might use the ideas in your PowerPoint presentation, now or in the future, to make your case or support your development endeavors.
To Prepare:
Review the Learning Resources. Consider information and examples in the resources that address the impact of diversity and inclusion on organizational performance, staff morale, patient care, and the business of healthcare.
Reflect on leadership roles in healthcare organizations, including nurse executives, in promoting and supporting diversity and inclusion in healthcare settings.
Assignment:
Finalize the Module 4 Assignment.
