HR DIVERSITY AND CSR REPORTING

Empirical studies argue that human resource (HR) diversity contribute to creativity, innovations and organizational development, on the one hand. On the other side, practitioners see a gap between theoretical HR studies dealing with relations between HR diversity management and organizational performance, and the reality of monitoring effectiveness of HR diversity. HR diversity strategy can be a part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) because international standards used for CSR reporting include indicators about the diverse labor force. The paper aims to review empirical studies about HR diversity management and identify when and how CSR reporting uses the HR diversity indicators in general and in the case of the Czech Republic. The methodology of research cover publication research, semi-structured interviews held in March and April 2017, and author`s observations. Respondents are line managers, HR managers and employees of subsidiaries of multinational enterprises located in Prague and Central Bohemia. Outcomes of the paper are an analysis of the current situation in the Czech environment and recommendations for the development of CSR reporting.
