Tom founded Sun City Boards out of his passion for surfing and has hired employees who have also expressed their surfing interest. Through the help and advice of his friend, he has been making changes to the business operation, including hiring new people. Sun City Boards now employs 17 people, and Tom plans to hire another 8 to 10 in the near future. Tom is unaware of and unaccustomed to the concepts of culture and diversity in business, and his initial hires primarily stemmed from his immediate friend group and local surfers. Additionally, looking at the org chart, you find that while there are several people of color and women in the organization, a majority of leadership roles are filled by white men. You have decided to advise Tom to consider a more diverse population of people for his next hires and any upcoming promotions.
