Overview:
As our society and culture changes and becomes more diverse, so does our workforce. Workplace diversity encompasses many differences including cultural, intellectual, gender-related, religious, personality, racial, generational, physical, mental, and more.
Regardless of these dissimilarities, all employees in the business community share a common goal of corporate and individual success and deserve consideration when applying for employment opening, promotions, educational opportunities, benefit participation, and all aspects of employment.
In order to avoid being viewed as discriminatory, your company should consider evaluating its current hiring, placement, and promotion requirements and business practices to ensure not only diversity tolerance, but also appreciation.
By recognizing, valuing, and promoting employee differences within your organization, you will be increasing staff morale and job satisfaction, thereby promoting success for individuals and your business as a whole.
