What is diversity in the workplace?Diversity in the workplace means that a company hires a wide range of diverse individuals. Diversity is often misconceived as solely multicultural matters, however it also applies to diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexuality, language, educational, background, and so on.
What is the importance of diversity in the workplace?
Diversity and inclusion are a vital part of workplace culture; not only are they important for the well-being of a company's employees, but will also benefit the business itself. Below are two lists, detailing the benefits of workplace diversity for employees and employers.
How to deal with workplace diversity?
1. Redefine, and recognize the many types of diversity.
As already stated, diversity has many categories, and not all are readily noticeable. To notice them you have to peer a little deeper. One key reason many people feel comfortable in one workplace, but unfulfilled in another, may be because they are diverse in those subtle little ways. That all your staff hail from the same state doesn’t mean they are not diverse. For instance, you have to take note of the obvious diversities like race, religion, gender and sexual orientation, but you also need to find out about the small guy who always slinks away from birthday celebrations; you need to notice the diversity of thought among your staff members.
2. Redefine discrimination, and clamp down on all its forms.
Workplace jokes are often what make work fun, and the resulting camaraderie is what makes people look forward to coming to work the next day or to the next online meeting. Yet certain jokes and comments must be closely censored. In a friend's company, where most of the staff worked remotely and hailed from diverse nations; “Hello Jimmy, how is Africa?” addressed to a man named Jimmy who actually was in Africa degenerated to a racist slur when voiced repeatedly.
3. Celebrate diversity in all ways possible.
Moving out of your comfort zone to other people's once in a while is a surefire way of maintaining decorum in a diverse workplace.
4. Keep reaching out.
Keep trying to learn about your staff, especially the new hires. Talk to them personally, and find out where they are from. According to Seglior, if you remain curious, receptive and open to learning about people's different cultures, your staff will benefit, and so will you.
5. Don’t assume people understand your jokes.
A former manager I know of made a joke in a staff meeting about people who didn’t go through college. I understood that he was trying to be funny, and it really would have been funny had there not been a fair number of people among the staff who hadn't gone through college. I saw their faces turn red, literally, and the manager didn’t even notice.
Not everyone has your experience or privileges. You need to know your staff well, and be sensitive to their differences. Don’t assume they ought to get your joke, because the next time you pass them over for a promotion, they may think it's because of their difference.
36. No one admitted to the academy unless he or she the education requirements. (I)
Explanation: the sentence above is inccorect (I). Because, there’s no verb. The connector is also correct. The Subject in second clause is “ he or she”. The sentence is must be “No one admitted to the academy unless he or she meets the education requirements”.
