Diversity training and consulting are crucial components to the efficient operation and motivation of today's increasingly diverse workforce. Organizations utilizing diversity training to help employees and team members overcome conflicts and focus on the positive aspects of a diverse workforce reap tremendous benefits in employee satisfaction and productivity. Organizations that don't make diversity a focus are out performed by diversity-focused organizations and experience higher levels of employee dissatisfaction, higher turnover rates and lower productivity. PRISM has specific inclusion and diversity training programs that can be tailored to the organization.

Diversity for plants and mammals is highest in the Southwest, where many of the states are large and have numerous specialized habitat types. In contrast, amphibians and freshwater fishes reach their highest levels of diversity in the southeastern United States. Indeed, with its combination of Appalachian highlands and humid coastal lowlands, this region is a global center for freshwater diversity. Bird and reptile diversity are more geographically mixed with both eastern and western states represented in the top tier. Texas, which straddles both east and west, leads all other states for both groups.
