Task 2.1 Explain what is meant by ‘diversity’ in a business context

Diversity refers to the ways in which people are similar or different from each other. It may be defined by any characteristic that varies within a particular work unit such as gender, race, age, education, tenure, or functional background (such as being an engineer versus being an accountant). Even though diversity may occur with respect to any characteristic, our focus will be on diversity with respect to demographic, relatively stable, and visible characteristics: specifically gender, race, age, religion, physical abilities, and sexual orientation. Understanding how these characteristics shape organizational behavior is important (Mark S. Philip and Adrian, 2016). While many organizations publicly rave about the benefits of diversity, many find it challenging to manage diversity effectively.

The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual (Marshall and Rossman, 2016).

As workplaces embrace the idea of diversity, they often realize benefits that help improve their companies, from new ideas to increased international opportunities. Diversity can add varied ideas and perspectives to the workplace. Research compiled by the Journal of Small Business Management suggests that employers who recruit diverse workforces open their businesses to a wide range of ideas. Businesses compile these varied opinions and ideas as they make decisions about how to start, run, and finance their operations and market their products or services (Roosevelt Thomas, 2018).

Task 2.2 Recognise the benefits of having a diverse workforce

Having a diverse workforce and managing it effectively has the potential to bring about a number of benefits to organizations.

High level of Productivity: Increasing productivity at the workplace has been one of the major challenges for managers and leaders and the company in general. Due to the fact that every organization has its own unique company structure and objectives, different strategies may be used to challenge or address the company in order to increase productivity. One of those strategies involves adopting workplace diversity and managing them effectively. When management takes the welfare of its workers at heart by means of offering them proper compensation, health care, and employee appraisal, It enables workers to feels they belong to the company irrespective of their cultural background by remaining loyal and hardworking which helps to increase the company’s productivity and profit (James J. Padilla,2017).

Exchange of varieties of ideas and Teamwork: In recent times teamwork is increasingly advocated by businesses and organizations as a means of assuring better outcomes on tasks and also for the delivery of goods and services. A single person taking on multiple tasks cannot perform at the same pace as a team could; therefore each team member brings to the table different ideas and offers a unique perspective during problem-solving to effectively arrive at the best solution in the shortest possible time.

Learning and growth: Diversity at the workplace creates an opportunity for employee’s personal growth. When workers are being exposed to new cultures, ideas, and perspectives, it can help each person to intellectually reach out and have a clearer insight of their place in the global environment and hence their own surroundings. The more time spent with culturally diverse co-workers can slowly break down the subconscious barriers of Xeno- 18 phobias and ethnocentrism, thereby encouraging workers to be more experienced members of the society ( Din Thomas, 2016)…………….
