aim to manage the diversity in their workforce in terms of gender, culture, ethnicity, race, age,
orientation, religion and citizenship. It is significant for enterprises to manage diversity in their
organization as the workforce of organizations which were once uniform in nature and have
become diverse in nature as a result of accumulation of various individuals in the organization
who have different religious and ethnic identity. (Das, 2014) In order to manage diversity ion the
workforce it is being observed that business organizations have adopted various diversity
