He was feeling stagnant after serving four years in the corporate department of Morrison &#038; Foerster L.L.P., a firm specializing in legal services in business and litigation.

She was hired as a food service manager with Sodexo’s Currey Ingram Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee, less than a month after graduating from the University of Central Florida with a degree in event management. Although her mother worked for the company for 25 years, most recently as a general manager at North Carolina Central University, Nelson’s interest was piqued at a college career fair. “The recruiter made me want to pursue it more because of her enthusiasm and interest,” says Nelson. “Once I started doing research and found out [Sodexo’s] mission and values, I just knew this was somewhere I wanted to go.”  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As massive job cuts have forced many companies to reorganize and reprioritize spending, the diversity budget is taking its share of hits across industries. Nearly half of the 452 respondents to a recent Society for Human Resource Management poll said their discretionary HR spending had decreased in the past year, and 39% said they had cut spending on training unrelated to the core business, including anti-harassment and diversity training. Ten percent of respondents said they had reduced spending on initiatives that targeted diversity recruitment, and 12% predicted that diversity-related recruitment efforts would be cut. “If diversity truly is a key strategic objective of a corporation, then it should be treated like any other key strategic initiative of the corporation,” says Joe Watson, CEO of StrategicHire, an executive search firm in Reston, Virginia, and author of Without Excuses: Unleash the Power of Diversity to Build Your Business (St. Martin’s Press; $24.95). “That is a test in many ways to show whether a company’s rhetoric matches its reality.”
We’ve looked at two companies that are working to continue efforts to make diversity a business imperative to grow their bottom lines. ]]></description>
