Suppress
**an option in response to diversity issues** Differences are squelched or discouraged when _blank_ is the diversity strategy. Managers and peers tell employees to quit whining and complaining about issues
Assimilate
**an option in response to diversity issues** The idea behind _blank_ is that, given time and reinforcement, all diverse people will learn to fit in or become like the dominant group
Foster Mutual Adaptation
**an option in response to diversity issues** _blank_ allows people to change their views for the sake of creating positive relationships with others. Employees and managers alike must be willing to accept differences and, most important, agree that everyone and everything is open for change.
Build Relationships
**an option in response to diversity issues** _blank_ is based on the premise that good relationships can overcome differences. It addresses diversity by fostering high-quality relationships-characterized by acceptance and understanding-among diverse groups.
