  "It's the little things that people remember," says Carolyn Cartwright, director of diversity initiatives at SunTrust Banks. "Individual situations cause us to think about how the company operates."
  
  For example, if a white male manager stops a white male employee in the hallway to ask how his golf game is but merely says, "Hello" to the male employee's African American counterpart, he may not think he's showing bias, but he is. Whether he means to or not, that manager is making one employee feel included in a way that the other is not.
  
  "Competent leaders today are leaders that know how to manage and leverage diversity - that means managing and maximizing the talent on their teams," Cartwright says. "They have to make sure everybody feels they have a voice and feel included. Sometimes it's the microinequities that cause people to turn away."
  
  At SunTrust, diversity management training is part of leadership training. Managers also receive ongoing coaching to help them recognize certain behaviors as bias and eliminate them. In 2009, Cartwright says, "anyone who supervises people" will be required to take diversity management classes via the Internet.
  ...
  "Diversity is not a fad," Cartwright says. It's a business imperative.
  ...
  "You've got to be able to present strategies and ideas and get people to buy into them," says Carolyn Cartwright, director of diversity initiatives at SunTrust Banks.

  Carolyn Cartwright, SunTrust diversity vice president, agrees.She sees fiscal policy and retention initiatives as a package deal."It's a business imperative," she maintains.
  
  When an employee leaves, the company must eat the cost of finding and training a new employee, human resources officials explain.If a company has a high turnover rate, the repercussions can be financially devastating.Diversityinc.com reports in their 3rd annual Business Case for Diversity that losing one employee can cost companies as much as four times that worker's annual salary. Successful retention programs make people of color feel like they are a vital part of the company by promoting, training, mentoring and fairly compensating them.
  ...

  In the end, the general consensus is that it comes down to a company's level of commitment.

  Says Warrior, "Companies have to decide having a diverse workforce is something they want to have.Once they make that decision, recruiting, finding talent of people of color is not that difficult."
