'It's Friday!'
Diversity Training Encourages
'Nontraditional' Solutions

By Carla Garnett

Karen is a 45-year-old mid-level manager. Typically, she meets a few friends for lunch every weekday. They commiserate and share war stories about the workday, their careers and families, and basically the world at large. Her lunchtime routine is probably no different from hundreds of thousands of other employees worldwide, and generally there's nothing wrong with it. But according to workplace diversity expert Dr. Samuel Betances, time spent at work could be so much richer for Karen, for her friends and for employees in all businesses at all levels.
