...Integration Issues Social integration at work can only be influenced to a small degree. The formation of cliques and exclusive social groups is a natural process that can be impossible to control at times. Because of this, companies can experience informal divisions in their staff, creating a situation where culturally diverse employees avoid exposure to each other during break times and after work. Although there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this scenario, it can hinder the effectiveness of sharing knowledge, skills and experience, thus curbing productivity growth and the effectiveness of teams. Diverse Experience Co-workers with diverse cultural backgrounds bring unique experiences and perceptions to the table in groups and work teams. Pooling the diverse knowledge and skills of culturally distinct workers together can benefit companies by strengthening teams' productivity and responsiveness to changing conditions. Each employee in a diverse workplace possesses unique strengths and weaknesses derived from their culture in addition to their individuality. When managed properly, diversity in the workplace can leverage the strengths and complement the weaknesses of each worker to make the impact of the workforce greater than the sum of its parts. Recommended diversity in the workplace solutions include: Ward off change resistance with inclusion. - Involve every employee possible in formulating and executing diversity initiatives in your workplace.

What about bringing them to a chocolate-‐snorting bar? Dominique Persoone, a Belgian chocolatier, has created a device for chocolate-‐sniffing, which is a powder catapult that launches small bumps of cocoa powder mixed with mint and either ginger or raspberry to user’s nostrils. People who are extremely obsessed with chocolate may find it as good news to have found another way to indulge their love for chocolate. As Persoone said, “Life is boring, let’s have fun.” However, health concerns remains an issue here since the safety of snorting cocoa powder hasn’t been scientifically proved. There is no research at present that tests the possible effects on nose or lungs caused by snorting chocolate....

The act contains insurance reform provisions and introduces the establishment of a fraud and abuse control program when rendering medical care to Medicare patients.
