Workplace Diversity

Workforce diversity is the inclusion of employees from different backgrounds, races, cultures, genders, ages, religions, and sexual orientations in the workplace. It is also about including employees with different abilities and disabilities. In simple terms, it refers to a diverse organisation with a heterogeneous workforce.

The concept of workforce diversity has evolved over the years as organisations have become more global and inclusive. In the past, workforce diversity was often thought of in terms of gender and race. However, today, the definition of workforce diversity has expanded to include a wide range of dimensions, including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, ability, and skills.
