Description of the issue In today’s multicultural world, the demand for greater diversity is rising. The notion of diversity has broadened, going beyond gender and race to include profiles and cultural backgrounds, age and disabilities. Moreover, various perceptions of diversity exist worldwide, a fact now widely acknowledged.
Organizations that build diverse workforces and create conditions that allow all people to learn from each other and develop their full potential – from the factory floor to the boardroom – are believed to be better equipped to address globalization’s challenges. They tend to perform better, grow faster and innovate more. Diversity contributes to a more positive public image and reputation, and catalyses efforts to recruit, retain and promote the best people.
However, organizations face multiple challenges in implementing and maintaining diversity, managing multicultural teams and positioning diversity, both internally and in society. In addition, economic downturns may test the commitment to inclusion even further.
