This body is about affirmative action in the workplace today. The purpose of affirmative action is to give our nation a way to finally address the systemic exclusion of individuals of talent, on the basis of their gender or race, from opportunities to develop, perform, achieve and contribute. Affirmative action is an effort to develop a systematic approach to open the doors of education, employment, and business development opportunities to qualified individuals who happen to be members of groups that have experienced long-standing and persistent discrimination. Expanding opportunity for people of color means expanding not only their access to existing jobs, education and housing , but also removing the obstacles that cause them from obtaining their goals. I believe, affirmative action is the best shot they have in order to achieve their dreams.

Broadly speaking, training is conceived of as a learning process whereby people improve their current skills and abilities and/or acquire new skills and knowledge to aid in the achievement of organizational goals. In a more narrow sense, training provides employees with specific, identifiable knowledge and skills for use on their present jobs.

81.238 Discrimination in the Modern Workplace.
This paper discusses discrimination in the modern workplace. With the 21st century workplace ahead of us and a country full of diversity surrounding us, the changing ethnic, racial, age, and gender composition of the workforce will become more evident in the years to come. This modern workplace will bring in a group of diverse employees to accompany tighter labor markets and changing worker demographics. These changes in the modern workplace will have important implications for employers across the country. "High skills and knowledge are important to American firms competing in a global economy." (Dresser, 1996) As always, the best measure of a employee or potential employee is skills and knowledge. But we all know that it doesn't always work that way. And, while the U.S. workforce as a whole has a higher educational level than ever, some problems evolving in the modern workplace are clear; discrimination is part of the problem. All the greater knowledge and skills level the United States is welcoming is coming to employers in new packages.

82.244 Noise Pollution In The Workplace: Implementing An Effective Hearing Conservation Program.
This paper discusses the problems of noise pollution in the workplace. Occupational-related hearing impairment is a socioeconomic hazard to the workforce. In addressing the economic and social costs, the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (1997) found that these costs include, "not only financial compensation or damages that must be paid, and the reduced enjoyment of everyday life for those with a hearing loss, but also less quantifiable factors such as reduced productivity, increased stress, disturbed speech communication and risk of accidents for a large number of workers" (p.203).

83.282 Sexual Discrimination in the Modern Workplace.
Among all industrialized nations, the United States has established the best system in preventing and combating sexual harassment incidents in the workplace. In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidelines affirming that sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of sex discrimination and imposing strict liability on employers for failing to take reasonable preventive or remedial measures. As of 1981, federal courts at every level have rendered decisions in a number of related cases, which are generally favorable to employees-complaints. Since the passage of Civil Rights Act of 1991, employer liability in the incidents of sexual harassment in the workplace has been increased considerably. Since sexual harassment in the workplace can cause various adverse effects to employees and directly impede the ideal of attaining gender equality in employment, it is of vital importance to pay close attention to the efforts made and the experience accumulated in this field by the United States.
