Furthermore, if productivity is considered as a measure of performance, mentoring can also add to this component. Consider, for example, the experience of Tegwin Pulley, director of diversity and staffing services for Texas Instruments (TI) in Texas.

Diversity is still such a new concept and business practice that little research exists that critiques its impact. However, its value seems intuitively obvious. Most employers are trying to understand what it can offer them. They engage employee groups to explore the opportunities and propose action plans. Then, like scientists, they try to apply a practical logic, leam from trial and error, and expect to be surprised. Wherever the ultimate expression of diversity may take us, the diversity journey is something no organization can afford to miss. 

A direct cost of this approach may be the expense of changes in equipment or job environments needed to implement the recommendations. At the extreme, there may be other costs. For example, it is possible to design jobs with so few physical demands that the workers become drowsy or lethargic, thus reducing their performance or encouraging them to leave their workplace. Clearly, extremes of physical activity and inactivity should be avoided, and there may even be an optimal level of physical activity for various employee groups (e.g., male, female, young, old).

The basic reason why most employees go to work each day is to acquire a pay-check. To most employees, the concept of safety and loss prevention is fundamental in nature—that is, they want to return home after work the same way they began work. Thus, employee groups (with the exception of employees with profit-sharing or employee ownership) could not care less what costs the company is incurring as a result of injuries. This group is more concerned with how such a safety program is going to affect the individual, the actual woik activities, and the paycheck. 

Certificate holders may develop ASAP programs and submit them to the FAA for review and acceptance. Ordinarily, programs are developed for specific employee groups, such as members of the flightcrew, flight attendants, mechanics, or dispatchers. The FAA may also suggest, but not require, that a certificate holder develop an ASAP to resolve an identified safety problem. 

Safety professionals should be aware of the graying of the American workforce and the impact of this aging on not only the safety function but also the laws governing this employee group. As of the turn of the century, there were about 7 elderly persons for every 100 persons 18 to 64 years. By 1982, that ratio was almost 19 elderly persons per 100 persons of working age. By 2000, that ratio is expected to increase to 21 per 100 and then surge to 38 per 100 by 2050. Safety professionals should be aware of the various laws that directly or indirectly impact the safety function, as well as the employees and the protections and benefits earned through their work activities.
