CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the topic

There is a need for hiring a new consultant at Mayo Clinic and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The organization known as Mayo Employee Resource Group or MEGR provides a suitable platform for the employees to work together for the attainment of common diversity interests and goals. The employees have also exerted several efforts to make a Mayo Clinic a better cultural place and providing a comfortable working environment to the employees. There is no consultant working at Mayo Clinic at the moment which is causing problems for the organization. Therefore, all the issues related to the hiring of MERG Consultant and Mayo Clinic will be discussed in detail.

There are eight different groups who are a part of the Mayo Clinic and all of them will be discussed in detail (Bharadwaj, 2000, 196).
