- Everyone is a unique person. Even though people have things in common with each other they are also different in all sorts of ways. Differences include visible and non-visible factors, for example, personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality, and work-style, size, accent, language and so on.
- Diversity covers a wide-range set of individual differences, not just gender and race but other visible and less visible differences that might lead to discrimination in the workplace. A number of personal characteristics are covered by discrimination law to give people protection against being treated unfairly. The ‘protected characteristics’ are race, disability, gender reassignment, sex, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age. (by being flexible enough to meet needs and preferences to create a motivating and rewarding environment )
- There are many legislations acts that covers diversity awareness and these are some of them; It is unlawful for a company to discriminate against people based on gender, according to Title VII(7) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
- Diversity management can be seen as part of the creation of intellectual capital organization, because people are carriers of valuable intangible resources such as knowledge, skills, competencies, experience, which use in their daily work.Benefits:Strengthening of cultural values within the organization (equal opportunities , mutual trust , ethics management ) that influence the creation of a good working atmosphere - people are open , they feel valued and respected , this increase motivation and improve the efficiency of their work .Inspire innovative ideas - diversity of knowledge , skills and experience of workers can overcome clichés of thought , routine operations and procedures . It improve key competences, helping to increase the value of intellectual capital . Expanding knowledge , enriching experience and competence development of employees - working in a diverse environment brings an opportunity to learn from each other and exchange of experience, exploit the potential of employees knowledge , talents and ideas to achieve the objectives of the organization.Good Reputation – satisfied and respected employees which creates the opportunity to work in a friendly atmosphere are valuable asset , because through their attitude , and expressed beliefs affect the positive image of the company among future employees, customers , business partners. Increasing the adaptability to the changing market environment - diverse team allows a better identification of expectations of different groups of customers , and the company can therefore easily meet the changes. Equal treatment in employment and combating all forms and manifestations of discrimination (access to training , professional development opportunities , development in the organization) - which contributes to a reduction in the costs of labour turnover and absenteeism of employees.
- Employers are afraid to employ disabled people because they feel that they do not know what to expect from such a person. Not having a reliable set of information the employers rely on stereotypes, because that’s the only thing they know. Like most stereotypes, do not assume the positive qualities of relating disabled people. Hence convince of employers that the disabled person is not independent, worse, poorly trained, less efficient and requires constant care and assistance - which does not encourage their employment. Many employers add to this: * Pursue of trouble, * Uncompetitive compared to non-disabled persons, * Frequent sick leave.Diversity literature explains the inclusive nature of diversity and how this distinguishes it from equal opportunities. However, the results of the survey suggest that the general understanding about diversity isn’t based on such an inclusive approach but on issues covered by law. Diversity strategies need to be designed to support business objectives and strategies to add real value to business performance.
- There might be many benefits from the diversity in the workplace ,however there few challenges that have to be addressedResult in confusion, lack of trust ,teamwork Resentment can become a problem !!important to have a system It has to be productive competition and equal sharing Some employees do not want accept the social and cultural changes in the workplace
- To progress diversity, organisations should focus on developing inclusive approaches to employment policies and practices and personal behaviours by managing equality and diversity issues in ways that support business contexts and circumstances. Organisations need to understand the broad nature of the business case arguments and ensure actions and initiatives support business goals. They need to move from minimal compliance with legal duties and focus on engaging employees’ understanding in ways that influence personal behaviours and operational activities regarding the delivery of products and services to meet diverse customer and client needs and preferences.
