You and your partners own and manage a local chain of restaurants, with moderate to expensive prices, that are open for lunch and dinner during the week and for dinner on weekends. Your staff is diverse, and you believe that you are effectively managing diversity. Yet on visits to the different restaurants you have noticed that your African-American employees tend to congregate together and communicate mainly with each other. The same is true for your Hispanic employees and your white employees.

You are meeting with your partners today to discuss this observation.

Discuss whether you should address this issue with your staff and in your restaurants. If so, how and why? If not, why not?
