How Your Code of Conduct Might Be Hindering Diversity 

Does your Code of Conduct require "professionalism" in the workplace?
Continuing this series on diversifying your workforce, let's take a look at this common provision in Codes of Conduct. Professionalism is often a catch-all term and code for everything from non-elite to non-white. That's why it needs to be clearly defined if you are going to use it in your Code.
Tips:
1. Be specific in the definition of professionalism in your unique workplace.
2. Focus on your business' brand and how it is reflected in your definition of professionalism. This is your chance to shine and get more buy-in from your employees where your goals are concerned.
3. Tie the term to your industry or profession and the expectations of your clients.
