Organizations know that it is valuable to have employees with different perspectives.
It's one thing to have employees with different perspectives, but I contend that an organization is doomed if it doesn't have employees who share similar core values.
I would frequently make this observation in a corporate setting when working for a company that did a lot of business through government contracts. The first time the HR people trotted out this nonsense about racial, ethnic and cultural "diversity," I asked a simple question: "Is this company well served if it hires and promotes people from cultures where bribery of government officials is not just culturally accepted, but is the normal course of doing business?"
