Write your recommendation.

Organizations that are dedicated to equality and inclusion must take action.
Additionally, they need to take action to make diversity a priority both before and after
hiring. Anyone with management or supervisory responsibility should pay close attention
to recruiting and performance-rewarding procedures, make sure to rely on appropriate
facts when making judgments, and avoid using racial stereotypes as a basis for those
decisions.
INTRODUCTION
Pavlou (2022) defines diversity as the variety of different characteristics in a group of
people. It could make us unique, such as our skills and personality traits, along with the
things that shape our identity. Workplace diversity has protected characteristics such as
race, age, gender, and sexual orientation, and every individual has a different experience,
talents, skills, opinions, and personality. These differences require the organization's
effort and reactiveness to shine.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES:

Diversity and inclusion aim to promote and practice equality within the
organization. Equitable employers outpace their competitors by respecting their team
members' uniqueness, perspectives, and potential. Therefore, diverse and inclusive
workplaces earn deeper trust and commitment from their employees (Bush, 2021).

RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC

The topic is relevant if it yields results instrumental in societal improvement
within the organization. It is timely related to the present. It also helps demonstrate how
workplace discrimination undermines organizational effectiveness and improves how
organizations manage diversity effectively.

BODY:
Equity, which means to treat everyone equally regardless of ethnicity or culture, is
a positive concept in diversity that we should work to achieve in order to maintain order.
Since it forms the foundation of diversity, equity is crucial and needs to be addressed
more frequently. Without Equity, Diversity would lack structure for other things and
would lack mutual respect. Discrimination is the opposite of diversity. Unfair treatment
of someone based on their culture or race is known as discrimination. It is wrong to
discriminate against those who may be different from you. Someone shouldn't insult
someone just because they practice a different religion or hold a different belief than they
do.
 Reflection

Based on the different documentaries l had watched diversity is really an

interesting topic. Based on the first video that l had watched entitled” Why age diversity
matters in work preferences?” Many companies right now actually really prefer younger
ones compared to other employees. Age is always consider as one of the qualifications in
job hiring of almost all companies. I think companies set age as one of the qualifications
it is because, there is a bracket or a limit in a certain position. For me, it is correct to
consider age as one of the qualifications but the company should not discriminate those
persons that are more than that age bracket. I believe that older people are more
responsible and they can do more tasks. Age does not define how well you can perform a
job. It does not mean if you turn 40s, 50s, and more you are not productive anymore.
Companies consider the age as one of the qualifications it is because they also needs to
consider the health conditions and abilities of the employee in that certain age. For
example, the company is an express company, so of course one of the qualifications for
the riders job is age ranging 18-24 years old. So, when the applicant is 60yrs old, he will
be rejected by the company.
Age matters in workplace due to the some reasons. A certain job may require
certain employees or young employees because they can perform the task quickly
compared to the older ones. This one of the factor to be consider. There are many
companies that needs to provide a quick service to the customers that is why they prefer
younger employees it is because they work faster compared to the older ones and they
need experience from them to enhance their skills.
There is a need to change other organizations having a discrimination in the field
of age. Age should not become a discrimination in the workplace. Every individual
should be treated fairly regardless of their age. Age does not really define a person on
effective and efficient that the person can perform the job but age can define the
experiences or the road that the person has gone through.
