Workforce Diversity
Did you know that workforce diversity is one of the main characteristics of a successful organization?
The organization consists of individual employees, and it is they who represent the main value of the company.
The main characteristics of workforce diversity are:
- Age;
- Gender;
- Ethnic origin;
- Religion;
- Physical and mental abilities․
The diversity of the workforce means that in terms of gender, age, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, organizations are gradually becoming more diverse. The diverse workforce includes women, colored people, people with disabilities, the elderly, and members of sexual minorities. Managing this diversity is becoming a global challenge. This change implies, for example, conducting a variety of trainings and improving motivation systems to meet the various interests of employees.
The diversity of the workforce has an important impact on managers' performance. They have to change their working principles, and they can no longer treat everyone equally. They also have to make individual decisions to improve the management, motivation, and productivity of employees. With improper management of a diverse workforce, its outflow increases, communication becomes more complicated, and conflict in the work process grows.
Concern for the diversity of the workforce is one of the most important prerequisites for the effectiveness of the organization since the more representatives of diverse groups are gathered in the organization, the more diverse and original vision is provided to the management. The main thing is that the diversity of the workforce should be managed without discrimination, and the individual differences of workers should be used to increase the company's competitiveness.
