Diversity and Inclusion1
Introduction
In the age of globalization, people from different region come under one roof and work
together fostering diversity in the organization. Diversity is a wide concept which is highly
practiced in the modern organizations. The concept was emerged in the late 1980s in United
States and got immense recognition to be a new prototype dealing with discrimination practiced
within the society (Bendl, Hainzl & Mensi-Klarbach, 2019). It is evident from research studies
that diversity aims at fostering creativity, productivity, decision-making, perspective of people
and human behavior. This has lead the work with new innovations and inventions and immense
growth in all sectors. Nowadays the working process and organization operations have become
more complex and the approach of diversity as well. There are many factors which leads to the
practice of discrimination, earlier it was due to caste, class and sexuality. Gradually, it has been
witnessed that people are also discriminated according to the color, nationality, education,
religion, nationality, sexual-orientation and physical abilities (Cunningham, 2019).
Self- Reflection
I am from New Zealand, I have done all my studies in New Zealand. After I completed
my Bachelor of Technology in New Zealand University. I got placed in a different country that is
Tata Consultancy Service, India. I was fascinated working in India, since I have heard so much
of the company and that place. I was excited working in a company like Tata but at the same
time I was nervous because I will be working in a whole new culture and environment. In the
beginning it was fine I had my training regarding my job roles and responsibilities. Gradually,
there was a time when I faced difficulties in getting involved with my colleagues. Although
everyone in the company speak English so as per my knowledge language was not at a barrier in
the company.

Diversity and Inclusion2
Somehow I started trying to get involved with the people of India and tried to understand
their culture. Even after trying so hard I was unable to connect with my colleagues and
moreover, I noticed I was treated differently from others in the organization. Meanwhile, I
noticed that I am the only employee in the department who is not from India. At some point I felt
I was discriminated in the organization for not being Indian and an employee from abroad. This
kind of experience in the organization was very demotivating and I lacked confidence in working
in the organization.
There were times when I thought to approach to the manager regarding the arising issue,
but I felt like it does not have any relevance. Their culture and ideas were different from mine,
therefore I felt like I was being avoided or neglected by the team members. The organization
lacks the practice of diversity and inclusion within the workplace. The work environment was
not comfortable to work as well.
Due to following issue mentioned above, the situation does have a negative impact on
me. The culture I was brought in is different to the culture in India. I was unable to work
properly, I was alone and had no friends to share my thoughts, opinions and ideas. It was highly
demotivating the way I was treated in a different country (ANJORIN & Jansari, 2018). As I was
new to the company I did not approach to anyone for help or discuss the matter with our
department manager. After the training programs, there were few team members who were
talking to me nicely but highly in a formal way which I am not acquainted to (Cunningham,
2019). I like working in a friendly environment where there is less pressure and freedom to
speak. For example: We never call “sir” to our seniors, we call them by their last name, but in
India people out of respect report them by using “sir’. This became an issue with my colleague
when I shared the same with them. It was highly disappointing and demotivating. The
