• WORKPLACE DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE MEANS THE ACCEPTANCE AND INCLUSION OF EMPLOYEES OF ALL
BACKGROUNDS. A DIVERSE WORKPLACE IS AN IMPORTANT ASSET, SINCE IT ACKNOWLEDGES THE INDIVIDUAL
STRENGTHS OF EACH EMPLOYEE AND THE POTENTIAL THEY BRING. VALUING THE DIFFERENCES OF OTHERS IS WHAT
ULTIMATELY BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER AND CAN BE THE SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL, THRIVING WORKPLACE AND A
FAIR WORK CULTURE.
• WORKPLACE DIVERSITY MEANS RESPECTING AND VALUING THE SKILLS AND DIFFERENCES THAT EACH STAFF
MEMBER BRINGS INTO THE WORKSPACE. A DIVERSE WORKPLACE IS AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES
EQUAL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL WORKERS, REGARDLESS OF GENDER, COLOUR, AGE, ETHNICITY,
PHYSICAL ABILITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, AND SO ON.
• 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. RESPECTING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES WILL BENEFIT THE WORKPLACE BY CREATING A COMPETITIVE
EDGE AND INCREASING WORK PRODUCTIVITY. DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT BENEFITS ASSOCIATES BY CREATING A
FAIR AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.
