The
New Corporate Battleground Ted
Childs, IBM Vice President Workforce Diversity "Diversity
is the new corporate battleground for mindshare and

employee recognition of a company that values and promotes
diversity in the workplace"... The subject of diversity
is indeed serious business at IBM, where its roots can
be traced back more than 100 years, when the company
hired both black and female employees.
