SOURCES OF WORKPLACE DIVERSITY
When someone comes from a
The term diversity is commonly used to refer to demographic
variables. Based on the standard diversity definition, the types of
diversity in a social context are theoretically infinite: they
encompass every characteristic that appears with variations among
a group of people (such as hair or eye color). But usually, when it
comes to workplaces there are few types like Gender, Race and
Ethnicity, Regional and National Origin, Social Class, Religion,
Age, Sexual Orientation and Physical Ability
GENDER
Gender diversity in the workplace means that women and men are
hired at a similar and consistent rate, are paid equally, and are given
the same opportunities, be that access to resources, promotions, or
pay. Gender diversity is having equal opportunities available to you
that aren't limited by your gender.
Gender-equal workforces operate better in various ways. One of
the significant advantages of increased gender equality in the
workplace is a more cohesive and productive workforce.
RACE AND ETHNICITY
Racial diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace aim to
provide all workers with a better and more secure working
environment. An environment where one may work safely and
comfortably without considering their physical appearance or
beliefs.
Whereas racial diversity refers to physical characteristics that
identify someone as belonging to a specific biological group or
categorization, ethnic diversity refers to a cultural and social
categorization.
Racial diversity has numerous benefits, including improved
academic achievement, enhanced intergroup relations, and positive
long-term life outcomes. Each is important for developing
community well-being and social cohesion.
Ex. Race: color: black and white American Ethnicity:
Batangueño, Ilocano, Kapampangan, bisaya, etc
REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ORIGIN
Like ethnicity yung regional diff region diff culture also may
language barriers din kasi di lahat magaling mag tagalog. National
origin examples include Filipino, Mexican, Iranian, Russian, and
American Indian,
Dito may language barrier din gawa ng pagkakaiba ng nationality
even sa asia maraming ibat ibang language like Filipino, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Thai and etc.
We should practice or learn to understand other people's language
since we have differences, we should always be kind to everyone
and not discriminate others cause lahat tayo may iba’t ibang level
of sensitivity maybe satin okay lang pero dun sa sinabihan natin
hindi pala kaya we should have to respect everyone.
What is meant by national origin in discrimination? National
origin discrimination involves treating people (applicants or
employees) unfavorably because they are from a particular country
or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they
appear to be of a certain ethnic background (even if they are not).
SOCIAL CLASS is an area of diversity that organizations pay less
attention to. But, people treat employees differently at work,
depending on their social class.
lower social class, they can face stigma from others at work. Those
from more elite backgrounds tend to gain status and opportunities
because of their social class.
Social class diversity – which is demonstrated in the material
resources of families, the relationships between couples and
between parents and their children, and the socialisation and
education of children. Life cycle diversity – which exists between
families whose members are from different historical periods
RELIGION
This type of diversity refers to the presence of multiple religions
and spiritual beliefs (including lack thereof) in the workplace.
Respect for religious diversity is an essential element of any
peaceful society, and religious freedom is a universal human right
that all states have a responsibility to uphold. We implore all states
to live up to their obligations and to hold accountable those who
seek to restrict the freedom of religion.
Learning about other cultures helps us understand different
perspectives within the world in which we live. It helps dispel
negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups. In
addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of
being” that are not necessarily our own.
AGE
Age diversity means working with people of different ages and,
most importantly, generations. For example, millennials, GenZers
and GenXers can coexist in the same workplace.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION
Sex and gender can be used in the traditional sense of male and
female employees. For example, you may sometimes hear the term
“gender balance” used by companies trying to achieve a 50-50
balance between employees who identify as male and employees
who identify as female. But, as gender is increasingly redefined,
the term “gender diversity” may be more appropriate, since there
are multiple variations in gender and sexual orientation.
PHYSICAL ABILITY
Ability and disability diversity in the workplace means having a
variety of talents and limits at the workplace. At workplaces,
people living with disabilities require specialized attention to
facilitate job execution. A diverse workplace increases productivity
and brings about job satisfaction.
Yung kahit may disability ka pakita mo pa rin yung totoo mong
talent kasi di hadlang ang pagkakaroon ng disability para tumigil
na sa paggawa o pagpapatuloy ng passion mo kasi minsan mas
maraming kayang gawin o mas determinado pa ang mga may
disability and minsan mas magaling sila sa ibang area ng trabaho.
Why is workplace diversity important?
A diverse workforce is more likely to understand your customers'
needs and come up with ideas to fulfill them. Diversity in the
workplace will also increase employee morale and instill a desire
to be more effective and work more efficiently. This will greatly
increase the productivity of your business.
A workplace that encourages diversity and inclusion will make
employees feel valued and accepted.
