No introduction of diversity is complete without
an understanding of change and how to manage it. Diversity
involves people and they are the drivers and engines
of change. In organizations, change happens in response
to internal or/and external forces. More
The challenge here is to discover how to creatively
interact with people from different socio-cultural
and ethnic background. The reality is that we live
in a multicultural society. The world today is characterized
by an ever growing number of contacts. Intercultural
exchanges are occurring through: Business, Politics,
Immigration, Media, Tourism, Education, etc. Competence
in intercultural communication in necessary now more
than ever. More
Organizations that value diversity lay fundamental
structures that allow such diversity to flourish.
These structures are in form of policies and regulations.
There is no one single legislation that promotes diversity
as a whole. However, you will find National, European
Union, and International acts which make a legal framework
for diversity issues such as, Sex discrimination,
Pay discrimination, Race discrimination. More
This is about being part of and not apart from the
society. Organizations today are becoming increasingly
part of the social fabric. They are part and parcel
of society and have an obligation as part of society
to build a sense of community. Valuing, respecting
and cultivating diversity in your environment keeps
you in touch with your market and customers and breeds
loyalty. More
