ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an understanding of how linguistic profiling has become an issue in today's workforce. Linguistic profiling has existed for centuries; however, as the workplace has become more diverse, the occurrences of this type of profiling have become more prevalent. The chapter discusses three key workplace implications of linguistic profiling: cultural and diversity, workplace and global economic, and technological. Within all organizations, there are cultural and diversity implications that pertain to how they function. People within an organization often represent a diversity of cultures and there is diversity within cultures. There are many workplace and global economic implications that may occur as a result of linguistic profiling and the lack of diversity intelligence needed to prevent linguistic profiling. There are many ways in which technology is being used by organizations and individuals to address linguistic profiling concerns. In the academic environment, minority and foreign faculty are choosing to teach online.
