What challenges do managers face in creating and managing a diverse workplace, and how might they respond to these challenges?
Managers face an unlimited amount of challenges in creating and managing a diverse workplace. Diversities may include: age, race, gender, personality, education or cultural background. The most effective way to respond to these challenges are to continue to stay up to date by, evaluating and assessing each diversity and it’s affect in the workplace. In diversity management, Human Resource management plays a crucial role, by guaranteeing equality and continues to make a strong use of diversity in a workplace.
Diversity in a workplace is not a topic that managers cannot afford to ignore anymore and therefore this should be implemented into every organisation. Although, this may be a challenge due to all the differences but it is a challenge that provides more of a positive outcome for example, allowing employees to feel safe and comfortable at their workplace. As diversity continues to grow, it becomes more recognised that it’s not just the right thing to do, but it is the business’s responsibility. (Dr Tim Soutphommasane, 2015) states “It is about ensuring that the status quo does not serve to advantage others and disadvantage others.” Explaining that someone who never has to deal with being discriminated against has a privilege over someone who experiences is it on a daily basis. Both employers and employees need to recognise and accept each other’s differences, to be able to form the best team possible in their workplace. This way there will be less conflict and more of an understanding with one another, resulting with a much happier environment to work in.
