What is cultural diversity?

Culture shapes us; it is the reason we have certain beliefs; influences how we
behave and gives us our identity. Cultural diversity is the representation of different
cultural and ethnic groups in society.

When talking about cultural diversity in the workplace, it is the inclusion of employees
from different backgrounds, different races, different sexual orientations, and different
political views [3]. The term cultural diversity encourages an environment of inclusion,
with representatives from a range of various backgrounds that come together to work
as a team.

It’s easy to talk about the theory and definitions of cultural diversity, but when it
comes to creating that within an organization, it very much depends on the practices
used during the hiring process.
