    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION TO MANAGEMENT OF

    WORKPLACE DIVERSITY

    Exercise 1

    1. Why is diversity management considered as an important issue at the workplace?

    = In my understanding as it said that managing diversity means acknowledging people’s


    differences and recognizing these differences as valuable. So, in my opinion diversity management is
    an important issue at the workplace because, it lets employees or workers to understand and accept
    each other despite their differences in age, class, ethnicity, gender, physical and mental ability, race,
    sexual orientation, spiritual practice, and public assistance status. It is to help workers or employees
    to be comfortable in the workplace and cooperate more with their fellow employees for better team
    work.

    2. Identify some benefits of diversity management.

    = As it states that when organizations actively assess their handling of workplace diversity
    issues, develop and implement diversity plans, multiple benefits are reported. Then for benefits
    there is the Attract and Retain Talent, wherein that talent can add a competitive edge to any
    organization. Like feeling included and appreciated increases loyalty and feeling of belonging.
    Language skills pool is increased and propels organization forward to increase its diverse customer
    base. Then there is also the More Effective Execution wherein, companies that encourage diversity
    in the workplace inspire all of their employees to perform to their highest ability resulting in higher
    productivity, profit, and return on investment.

    3. How is diversity management managerially and culturally challenging?

    = As it said that diversity management managerially and culturally challenging because it is


    challenging by opening ourselves and our organizations to the perspectives of individuals and groups
    who have had less managerial voice in the pass, we can step outside the traditional frame of
    decision making. But also, it is challenging due to prejudice and discrimination and complaints and
    legal actions against the organization. But then sometimes these challenges are what improve
    employee relationships and promote diversity, if handled correctly.

    4. What is the basic concept behind the radical view of diversity? Why is it challenge?

    = It states that the radical approach to promoting equal opportunities was adopted by
    individuals who held strong political and ethical values and recognized the historical disadvantage
    that certain groups, such as women, ethnic minorities and disabled persons, experienced in
    employment. In my opinion it is challenging because it requires many changes and understanding for
    the radical view of diversity.

    5. What are some changes taking place in organizations that may call for better consideration
    regarding diversity?

    = In my opinion I can think of some changes that are taking place in organizations regarding
    diversity. I think sometimes us humans make decisions based on biases, rather than on facts and
    logic. Sadly, this is no different in the workplace employees will base their decisions and judgements
    on unconscious biases despite their best intentions. And I think hiring employees need to be able to
    recognize the signs of hostility. Diversity training for employees can also help to educate them and
    mitigate any bias. With awareness training, employees will understand that differences between
    colleagues are beneficial and nothing to fret about.
