Racial Diversity

Introduction/Executive Summary

In today’s workplace, it is important to have a diverse workforce in order to strengthen the organizational adaptability, achieve competitive advantage and reduce legal risks. Adopting a racial diversity is one great way of gaining workplace diversity to have a heterogeneous workforce in respect to physical, cultural and social qualities. Racial diversity in the workplace is where organizations hire employees from all sorts of varying backgrounds; irrespective of race and culture. This diversity gives an organization access to a wide range of talent and perspectives. As such, it helps in offering insight into the needs and motivations of all the business’ client or customer base, instead of just a little portion of it.
