Benefits and challenges of a diverse workforce
Diversity in the workforce planning methods supports an organization in increasing the
knowledge base while empowering innovativeness in the business processes. Shaban (2016)
stated that people coming from different educational and cultural backgrounds contributes to the
organizational sustainability through shared learning and their creative ideas. However, there are
certain issues that might be encountered by businesses while promoting diversity in the
workforce. According to Andrei, Petery and Parker (2019), cultural conflicts and biases might
pose a greater challenge towards organizational performance while facilitating a diverse
workforce. The conflicting ideas of the people and the absence of respect and trust between the
individuals might affect the capability of the organizations in empowering their operational
efficiency. On the other hand, biases and discrimination among the workplace from the
management based on inclination towards a particular caste, creed, religion or gender might
create dissatisfaction among employees and disruptions in the workflow (Garg, Pandey &
Vashishta, 2017).
