Abstract

Most recognizable businesses will have a diversity statement describing to their consumers, employees, and other businesses their acknowledgment of the changing climate in inclusive and equitable business standards, and how they have or are planning to address this change in their own infrastructure. Companies will pay writers to perfect these statements, ensuring that the image they’d like their business to have is accurately represented. However, while the diversity statement may give the appearance of a changing workplace, it cannot be truly known if these businesses are meeting the standards they have set for themselves without investigating their practices in comparison to the statement’s promises. If investigated and proven unable to meet their standards, the company’s public image may become jeopardized.

With the undesirable outcome of being exposed by outside research, this proposal offers the TJX corporation the ability to analyze its diversity statement for its main objectives, and an investigation of the company’s current status in reaching the goals compared to the main objectives outlined by the diversity statement. This analysis will give TJX the ability to address which objectives are currently being met, and which ones may need further improvement into achieving. With social justice and inclusivity being at the forefront of current issues in the United States, a country where TJX does a great deal of business, it is crucial that the company is seen trying its best to meet the high standards set in its diversity statement.
