Diversity Management Insights

This document discusses diversity in the global population and workplace. It describes that if the world's population was scaled down to a village of 100 people, 57 would be Asian, 21 European, and there would be more non-white, non-Christian, and heterosexual individuals compared to white, Christian, and homosexual. Most people would live in poverty and have little access to education. The document then outlines types of diversity seen in the workplace and argues that diversity provides benefits like new perspectives and better understanding of diverse customers. However, managing diversity poses challenges in integrating and accepting different groups. It suggests interventions like training and mentoring to promote diversity in organizations.

The Challenge of Workplace Diversity?
 The challenge lies in the continuous improvement of the
integration and social acceptance of people from
different backgrounds.
 Our differing human characteristics influence the way
we think, act, interact, and make choices.
 Often, these differences interfere with our ability to
support, trust, and respect each other, and thus to
effectively function together.

The Challenge of Workplace Diversity?
 Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action
 The active recruitment of women, minorities,
and other protected groups.

without concern for the survivability of these
individuals.
