Diversity

Diversity means quality of being different or varied. When one looks at the meaning it seems too easy to understand but there is more to the word other than the meaning. In the Human Resources sector diversity is still one of the most challenging aspects to deal with because employees and employers understanding of the word is overshadowed and undermined to a greater extend.

Therefore I have decided to take this opportunity to make it my first and initial highlight for individuals and organisations to have a clearer understanding of the word and what it means so that it easier to communicate it and implement it too.

• Cultural diversity, the respect of difference cultures and inter-culturally.
• Diversity business, the business tactic which encourages diversity to better serve a heterogeneous customer base.
• Diversity politics, the political and social policy of encouraging tolerance for people of different backgrounds.
• Diversification (finance) involves spreading investments.
• Diversification (market strategy) is a corporate strategy to decrease market penetration.

Therefore diversity ranges on a span of things but since we are focusing on Human Resources we will take it back to how employees and the employer interact and use a diverse work ethics to make any working environment boost morale other than a stumbling block.
