The document discusses several studies that have found a relationship between increased diversity and innovation, but notes that diversity alone does not guarantee better performance and can result in negative outcomes without careful management. It then summarizes various frameworks for understanding different types of diversity and the leadership behaviors needed to promote an inclusive culture where diverse voices feel empowered to contribute new ideas. The overall message is that diversity of thinking driven by inclusion is critical for fueling innovation when different perspectives are brought to problem solving.

Promoting organizational diversity in any organization requires each employee and the manager to develop a set of skills for their own professional development. As a result a dynamic group develops with a each member providing his or her own cultural identity to the team. Included in this team is not only an employee’s merit but the individual employee’s personality. Equipped with the knowledge of prejudice and discrimination a paradigm of diversity develops within the group. The result is a team of employees sharing and implementing ideas of cultural diversity among each other as well as with their clients.
Essay on diversity in the workplace - aiu(final)Donasian Mbonea
The world’s increasing globalization requires more interac¬tion among people from diverse backgrounds. People no longer live and work in an insular environment; they are now part of a worldwide economy competing within a global framework. For this reason, profit and non-profit organizations need to become more diversified to remain competitive. Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity is an important issue for management (Betchoo, 2015)
Supervisors and managers need to recognize the ways in which the workplace is changing and evolving. Managing diversity is a significant organizational challenge, so mana¬gerial skills must adapt to accommodate a multicultural work environment. (Agarwala, 2010)
It is a known fact that diversity is gaining more importance nowadays than ever before given that the world better accommodates people with differences since it has transformed into a global village, a term that looked distant in the past but looks more apparent today than ever before. This calls for acceptance of differences which are, in essence, the elements of diversity. Traditionally, diversity could mainly focus on gender, age and ethnicity issues but there are new concepts like HIV/AIDS workers, dual – career couples, mobile workers that have become part of the workplace and have their role to play in the society (Betchoo, 2015).
Then comes the foreign employee. There are two trends that are identifiable. Firstly, people from the developing world moved in large numbers to rich countries that were their former colonists. Secondly, top executives are moving to developing nations to sell their managerial expertise. Foreign employees might also invoke the issue of cultural diversity and tolerance. Acceptance of diversity also covers the issue of race relations which are easy tough to manage despite struggles won in many parts of the world.
Workplace diversity exists when companies hire employees from various backgrounds and experiences. Many companies see workplace diversity as an investment toward building a better business. Although workplace diversity provides many benefits, it also poses many challenges to employees and managers. To reap the benefits of workplace diversity, employees and managers must understand the challenges and know how to effectively deal with them.
The essay explore the meaning of diversity as a concept, managing diversity, a model for diversity, HRM in workplace diversity, tools for managing diversity, benefits of diversity in the workplace, challenges of diversity in the workplace, strategies for managing diverse workforce, Literature review on managing workplace diversity as well as reviewing one case study on the topic.

Introduction
Global leaders are a rising class of leaders that are capable of working in universal and global connections. Introductory exploration demonstrates that global leaders are a remarkable breed with identifiable attributes (Mendenhall, 2013). They have a particular interest in the world and enthusiasm for individuals is not the same as themselves. This hobby motivates visionary activities and associations that encompass national limits. Besides, genuine global leadership perceives the effect of their activities on surrounding groups and the entire society. They comprehend that individual success is subordinate upon the thriving of others and that they assume a part in changing their organizations, as well as the social orders in which they work. Osland, Oddou, Bird, & Osland, (2013) Shows worldwide pioneers conceived, as well as can make. Global leadership gets to be who they are by developing specific methods for taking a gander at the world, contemplating issues and opportunities and acting with respectability in a quest for arrangements. Research demonstrates that global pioneers offer three typical qualities: they have a collective mentality that permits them to unite cross-culture over limits, they are international business people headed to make new solutions and seize opportunities, and they are universal nationals enlivened to add to the groups they touch. Initiative in a various and multicultural environment: creating mindfulness, learning, and abilities (Caligiuri, & Tarique, 2012).
Over the previous decade, global and residential associations have perceived the essential requirement for their leaders to wind up skillful in culturally diverse connections. The move to a worldwide economy and the expanding expansion of the workforce in the United States bolster the progressing requirement for exploration and preparing here. Capable multicultural leaders are vital to an association's accomplishment in the global business sector.

Unit Lesson
Introduction
Diversity is one of those overused and highly nebulous words
that people typically say without really understanding or
considering what it entails (Wingard, 2017). In this unit, we plan
to not only define diversity and explain what it entails, but we
also will introduce you to some pros and cons of diversity within
an organization. It should give you plenty to consider as you
weigh the value of diversity in your workplace and beyond.
Definition
Let’s begin by having you look to those around you, whether
this includes other family members, coworkers, or neighbors.
Are we all the same? The answer is unequivocally no. In fact,
we are all unique. Even identical twins are different in some
ways. They may be similar in appearance, but there can be so
much more. For instance, they may have very different personalities and views depending upon their own life
experiences. In its broadest sense, diversity can be described as characteristics that differentiate us from one
another (Robbins & Judge, 2019).
Characteristics
Initially, people tend to focus on gender, race, or ethnicity (Robbins & Judge, 2019). Still, diversity can include
all of that and more. Some people may opt to concentrate on physical characteristics. This could include hair
color, eye color, height, weight, or build. Even if one chose to focus on other areas, there are a phenomenal
number of characteristics from which to choose. For instance, diversity includes such things as age, religious
affiliation, disability status, military experience, sexual orientation, educational level, culture, language spoken,
marital/partnered status, and political affiliation.

Title
Pay Disparity as an Example
When we think about diversity, a common example that comes to mind is men and women in the workplace.
Women are taking on a greater presence in the workplace, but at what cost? Are men making similar
sacrifices to get to where they want to be? There is a definite pay gap between the earnings of men and
women. This is something about which many, both men and women alike, are left wondering. In our textbook,
you will find a number of important statistics specific to this wage gap. Although the number of women in the
workforce is increasing, the pay gap remains. It is narrow.

2. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
There are many opinion papers and studies pointing
to a relationship between increased diversity and
innovation. But what’s the nature of that relationship,
and how does it work? Diversity on its own, without
careful management and leadership, can result in
negative rather than positive disruption.
Roberge & Dick (2010) found that diversity does not
automatically lead to better performance. Without
‘diversity intelligent’ inclusive leadership, diverse
groups can become polarised and marginalised.
2
3. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Roberge & Dick (2010) distinguish between surface
or visible diversity and deep diversity. Visible
differences include reasonably obvious things like
race/ethnicity, gender, age, and physical disability.
(Some may argue that even these characteristics are
not necessarily obvious). Deep diversity might
include more subtle attributes like personality,
attitudes, values and knowledge sets.
3
4. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
A Forbes (2011) study identified barriers to
implementing a diversity and inclusion strategy as
being: failure of middle management to execute
strategy; budgetary issues; being too focused on
survival in the current economy; and a failure to
understand the connection between diversity and
business drivers. This is about what we shouldn’t do.
4
5. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Hewlett, Marshall & Sherbin (2013) characterize
diversity in a slightly different way, into inherent and
acquired diversity. Inherent diversity includes traits
you were born with, such as ethnicity and gender,
while acquired diversity is about what you gain from
experience. They give a couple of examples:
working in another country usually gives you cultural
intelligence, while experience of selling to females
might give you insights into gender.
“Inherent diversity, however, is only half of the
equation. Leaders also need acquired diversity to
5
6. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Hewlett et al (2013) identified six leadership behaviours
to drive innovation through diversity. Leaders need to
1. make sure everyone has a voice and is heard;
2. create a climate of psychological safety so people are
willing to share ideas;
3. give team members decision-making authority;
4. share the credit;
5. give useful feedback;
6. and listen to and implement team feedback.
Other success factors include the development of
empathy or the ability to take on the perspective of
others. This means not just the appearance of taking on
board other people’s ideas, but actually integrating them.
6
7. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
A team with a member who shares a client’s ethnicity
is 152% more likely to understand that client than a
non-diverse team (Hewlett et al 2013).
Leaders who give diverse voices airtime are nearly
twice as likely as others to unleash value-driving
insights, and employees in a ‘speak-up’ culture are
3.5 times as likely to contribute their full innovative
potential” (Hewlett et al 2013).
In a 2015 global Boston Consulting Group study of
1500 executives, 75% claimed that innovation was
one of their company’s top 3 priorities. However 83%
said their company’s innovation capability was
average or weak.
7
8. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
2015 Deloitte study found that idea generation was a critical
factor that set ‘breakthrough’ innovators apart from the rest.
And what is essential for idea generation? Diverse thinking
and experience.
Bringing this back to the three foundational shifts in the context
of:
1. Diverse talent – when employees feel highly included, they
are more engaged in their work, more likely to stay,
advocate and go the extra mile for their employer.
2. Diverse ideas – when employees feel highly included, they
are more willing to speak up with new or alternative views,
enhancing decision making.
3. Diverse markets – when these ideas come from individuals
with different backgrounds and life experiences (e.g.
culture), new opportunities and greater insights are
identified in new markets or untapped customer segments
8
9. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
In all these cases, a leader casts a powerful shadow
on an organisation’s culture. When employees see
and experience leaders behaving inclusively, they
too will adapt their own behaviours and actions to
the benefit of others, including customers.

signature traits (Committed, Courageous,
Cognisant, Curious , Culturally intelligent, and
Collaboration) of inclusive leadership that will enable
9
10. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Deloitte (2015) conducted interviews with best-in-
class inclusive leaders reveal the details of each of
these traits in terms of what such leaders think about
and do.
Draw conclusion that they think deeply about their
commitment to diversity and inclusion and expend
time and energy towards being inclusive. Why?
Because staying the course is hard.
They demonstrate courage in their willingness to
challenge the status quo, and humility when talking
about their own limitations.
10
11. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
They are curious about others’ views and seek to
understand context, knowing they don’t have all the
answers.
They are highly cognisant of their own biases and
actively work on mitigation strategies (with respect to
self, others and systems) to ensure they bring out the
best in diverse others.
They are open to learning experiences that enable more
effective cross-cultural interactions to take place, and
are confident in doing so.
Finally, they focus on creating collaborative teams and
networks, so that diversity of thinking can become a

12. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Rob Balmer (2015) argued that the point here is that
diversity is more complex than we might think. But it’s
also simpler than we think, because in the end the
benefit of all varieties of diversity is the multiple
perspectives that all these attributes bring to the
workplace and to innovation. Diversity of thinking is what
it’s all about when we’re talking innovation.
Diverse work groups will have a broader range of
knowledge, skills and viewpoints to bring to the table.
Multi-disciplinary teams, for example can make a huge
contribution in collaborative solving whole of systems
issues like environmental sustainability.
A culturally or demographically diverse team brings you

13. Role of Diversity in
Innovation
Rob Balmer (2015) there should develop inclusive
leadership. Most companies will have a diversity
strategy: understanding how to make it work is the
challenge, and making it work starts at the top.
Senior managers need to acquire understanding of
diversity and their role in driving strategy.
No prizes for guessing the answer here: there’s a
strong business case for diversity as competitive
advantage, with increased innovation, market
alignment and growth, and high levels of team
performance. And we haven’t even got started on the
benefits of diversity in terms of attraction, retention
and organisational culture.
