Description
Diversity is defined as valuing and utilizing the contributions of all individuals irrespective of their age, gender, race, culture, disability, ethnicity, religion etc. Workplace diversity involves recognizing the value of individual differences and managing them in the workplace. For businesses to thrive, awareness and sensitivity to diversity is necessary. The inability to manage diversity in the workplace can “cost” the organization. High employee turn over rates, discrimination suits and negative consumer image are some examples of the risks to employers who don’t manage diversity effectively.
