A chain of hamburger restaurants that fails to comply with the law in managing diversity is likely to:

The situation described involves a chain of hamburger restaurants that does not adhere to legal standards regarding diversity management. In many jurisdictions, there are laws and regulations in place designed to promote workplace diversity and to prevent discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, and other factors. When a business fails to comply with these laws, it becomes vulnerable to legal repercussions, which often manifest as lawsuits.

These lawsuits can arise from employees who feel they have been treated unfairly or discriminated against due to the lack of diversity or discriminatory practices within the workplace. When employees or former employees bring lawsuits against the organization, it signals that the company has not upheld its obligations under the law, potentially leading to financial penalties and damage to the restaurant’s reputation.

In contrast, the other options do not align as closely with the consequences of legal noncompliance related to diversity. While inspections may occur, they are typically proactive measures taken by regulatory agencies rather than a direct result of a company's failure to manage diversity. Increased employee turnover can indeed be a consequence of a poor diversity environment, but it is more of a secondary result rather than the primary legal issue. Enhancing public relations is unlikely in circumstances where a business faces legal actions or is publicly criticized for its management practices.
