The Art of Managing a Culturally Diverse Workforce

Managing a diverse workforce enables companies to achieve a harmonious working relation amongst its numerous employees. Organizations benefit from a diverse workforce in several ways, including retaining workers for longer periods, attracting the most competent skills in the market, and high motivation amongst workers, which translates to huge profits for the organization. Many organizations are also targeting global markets and, therefore, they can only succeed in their business if they consider a mixed workforce. On the other hand, failure to manage workforce diversity can easily harm the organization in several ways, including low morale among workers thus affecting productivity and leading to very low profits. The organization’s overall competitive advantage diminishes with poor diversity management of the workforce.
