2023, Deyeren S. J, Benson J. A

Diversity refers to the variety or multiplicity of demographic features that characterize a company's workforce, particularly in terms of race, gender, culture, national origin, handicap, age and religion. Diversity is differences among people in age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and capabilities/disabilities. Using the desk research method to acquire and analyze secondary data, the paper concluded that diverse workforce is not an option to be treated without keen attention for contemporary organisations due to the nature of work, globalisation, the demand for quality products, the demand for quality employees etc, insisting that a diversified workforce is a necessity.
