Diversity in the workplace

In a time of rapid globalization and increasing international mergers, the focus on diversity is an increasingly important resource. Working with diversity in today's society is associated with a multitude of changes. The complexity that comes with change is constantly changing both organizations and the economy. Diversity management offers an opportunity to use diversity as a resource to counteract competitive pressure on the labor market, to position oneself more attractively for applicants and to promote the recruitment and retention of employees. A diverse workforce creates profitability, which in turn means that companies that pursue a heterogeneous personnel policy react much more agilely to the constantly changing environmental conditions.The implementation of holistic diversity management creates education, security, tolerance and acceptance and leads the company into future-proof personnel management.
