    Diversity in Organizations

    Diversity in Organization is important as below

    1. Encouraging Diversity In The Workplace Improves Productivity:

    Diversity in the workplace increases the organization’s morale and create efficiency and

    effectiveness. Workers from cultural backgrounds bring their own individual skills to the

    table. This helps you critically examine a problem or task at many diverse levels. It helps you

    understand the customer base from diverse backgrounds. These results in higher efficiency

    and effectiveness which boosts the employees' productivity.

    2. Improves Creativity And Innovation:

    Creativity and innovation are not synonymous. Creativity is the mental ability to develop

    effective unique ideas and concepts. Innovation, on the contrary, is the extension of

    creativity. It is the process to transform these unique ideas into new entities.

    A diverse workforce helps an organization bring more creativity and innovations. Diversity

    practice is not only a leveler. Diversity practice is also an immense possibility for an

    organization’s growth.

    3. Hire Employees From Diverse Pool Of Talents:

    You often listen to successful leaders around the globe speaking how important it is to hire

    diverse teams from a larger pool of talents. Diversity in the workplace helps you choose a

    wide range of employees based on their talents. When business owners do not practice

    diversity they also miss out on the widespread possibilities and customer base.

    Hiring diverse candidates also helps in employee retention. According to Glassdoor, 57% of

    employees want their companies to be more diverse and inclusive.


    4. Fight Unconscious Biases:

    We make our presumptions with our preconceived notions. We do it without any proof or

    validation and that’s what results in unconscious biases. Don’t we unconsciously judge

    people from the color of their skin or the ethnicity they belong to? And even from the names

    in their resumes.

    5. Improves Employer Brand and Global Reputation:

    Diversity in the workplace plays a vital role in building a great reputation for the company.

    This leads to increased profitability and equal opportunity for the company and its

    employees. Thus, organizations which commit to diversity enjoy a global reputation. This

    improves the employer’s brand and respect for their fair employment practices and ethics.

    6. Improves Company Culture:

    Company culture varies from company to company. Some follow an informal and casual

    approach. On the other hand, some follow specific dos and don’ts. It also depends on the size

    of the company, its ethics, goals and work environment.

    Company culture is the personality of the company. Your employee’s beliefs and actions in

    internal and external matters tell a lot about your company. Their behavior, feeling and

    thinking determines the way they perform. (Roy, 2024)

    The term "diversity" covers many complex issues. A diverse workforce consists of people

    from many different backgrounds, including a variety of economic histories, religious

    beliefs, racial identities, and so on. Diversity can bring strengths to the workplace as it

    allows your company to recognize and respond to the diversity of the outside world. But it

    can also present challenges.


    It is easy to be overwhelmed when it comes to developing processes and procedures to deal

    appropriately and positively with diversity in the workplace. Some strategies help

    businesses owners create policies that address diversity and meet the values of the

    company and encounter on diversities are as below

     Define the Issues


     Highlighting Personal Uniqueness
     Develop Policies Adhering to Company Goals
