Someone's Doing It Right

Google seems to have an extremely diverse group of employees. Caroline Myers wouldn't expect anything less from the Holy Search engine. Half of the engineers working at the head quarters in Silicon Valley, California were born overseas. Google just loves to recruit foreign employees. They celebrate diversity by naming each work room after foreign cities. Google sees diversity as a bonus to their company and embrace it in a trendy, geeky way. The company even hires an immigration specialist! The woman who currently holds this title is Christine Doyle. She helps employees deal with the increasingly restrictive visa and immigration rules. This job entails tasks like processing visa forms which are punctuated by crises, and keeping frustrated workers sane. Apparently, "Google estimates that it spends about $20 million a year on its immigration efforts"(Multicultural Work force). It doesn't stop here folks. Google's cafeteria caters to it's international employees by serving many varieties of ethnic cuisine. The rest of the country could take a hint or too from the people over at Google. Take the time to learn about and appreciate other cultures. When asked, Parker (another interviewee) mentioned that Google would probably one of the best places to work in the U.S. as of late. Caroline Myers would have to concur.
