Workforce diversity
- similarities and differences among employees in terms of age, cultural
background, physical abilities and disabilities, race, religion, gender, and
sexual orientation. No two humans are alike. Diversity makes the work
force heterogeneous. In current scenario, employing diversified
workforce is a necessity for every organization but to manage such
diversified workforce is also a big challenge for management.

concomitant issues. Constant changes in a firm’s culture and in
people’s personal beliefs force the workplace to deal with the concept
and issue of diversity. Managing employee heterogeneity is more
important and more difficult than managing homogeneity in fully
utilizing internal human resources.

A management system which eliminate the difference found in
difference found in multi-cultural workforce in a manner which result
in the higher level of productivity for the both the organization and
individuals. In the simple words, managing diversity mean managing
people in the best interest of employees and the employers.
Managing diversity is an on-going process that unleashes
the various talents and capabilities which a diverse
population bring to an organization, community or society,
so as to create a wholesome, inclusive environment, that is
“safe for differences,” enables people to “reject rejection,”
celebrates diversity, and maximizes the full potential of all,
in a cultural context where everyone benefits.

Two Major Form of Diversity
• Surface level diversity are those differences that are easily
noticeable such as age, gender, ethnicity/race, culture, language,
disability etc. Surface level diversity is easy to be measured and
managers/recruiters can fall into the wrong practice of
discrimination based on these factors.
• Deep level diversity on the other hand, are not easily
noticeable and measurable since they are communicated through
verbal and non-verbal behaviors. Deep level diversity usually
starts with identifying surface level differences and when people
gets to know each other, they starts noticing the deep level
personal differences and tend to accept or dislike it.
