Abstract
Diversity in the concept of management is a strategy that is intended to foster and maintain a positive workplace environment. An effective diversity management program will promote recognition and respect for the individual differences found among a group of employees. The idea of this management approach is to encourage employees to be comfortable with diversity in the workplace and develop an appreciation for differences in race, gender, background, sexual orientation or any other factors that may not be shared by everyone working in the same area of the company. It is a universal fact that individuals differ; both inherited and external factor are responsible for this development. It is an important task for every manager and leader to understand individual differences and diversity and also integrate the individuals and the organization to provide a better working environment that gives job satisfaction as well as help achieve organizational goals. The report emphasizes on how individuals differ from each other in terms of values, personality and attitudes. It also reflects on diversity at workforce and its importance to create productive environment. This study is designed to help managers effectively manage diverse workforces. It provides a general definition for workplace diversity, discusses the benefits and challenges of managing diverse workplaces and individual differences, and presents effective strategies for managing diverse workforces. Most organizations in their own perspective, adopt diversity at their workplace or organisation to become more creative and open to change. Increasing and improving workplace diversity has become an important issue for management in the recent years due to the recognition of how the workplace is changing. Since managing diversity still remains a challenge in organisations, managers tend to learn managerial skills needed in a multicultural working environment and prepares themselves to teach others within their organizations to value cultural differences and treat all employees with dignity.
