Answer to Question 1

The ability to consider the particular needs of employees while framing policies and procedures might increase the level of personal satisfaction at work. However, such a situation reflects an ideal and to do this would potentially undermine the interests of the organization and justice. This is one reason why policies and procedures tend to be more universal in application. This is particularly relevant to HRM professionals who must implement organizational compensation systems and benefit allocations on an impartial basis.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Explanation: Differences in easily perceived characteristics, such as gender, race, ethnicity, age, and disability, that do not necessarily reflect the ways people think or feel but that may activate certain stereotypes are known as surface-level diversity. The exploitation of the disabled men in the opening story is a tragic example of mistreating people for the ways in which they are different. Not only were the men abused by their supposed caretakers, but they also suffered workplace discrimination that kept them in debilitating roles without regard to their abilities and needs. In this chapter, we look at how organizations should work to maximize the potential contributions of a diverse workforce.
