Executive Summary
Businesses as a rule consist of various structures, whether in its people, customers, or board members. With that being said, I have chosen to audit the diversity within the global organization: United Parcel Service (UPS). The diverse makeup of this company shows the assorted roles within each department from corporate management down to the actual labor force doing the work. Conversely, without proper management skills, managers could neglect to acknowledge the role of each part of the corporate structure. Consequently, a distinctive form of audit is necessary, an audit that can deliver information of how well UPS manages the diversity of its resources. In order to perform this audit properly, a set of sound quantitative and qualitative criteria is required. I will be evaluating the diversity initiatives of UPS, one of the most prolific package delivery service companies in the world. The assessment will indicated whether or not UPS has a sound ability of diversity management.
