Introduction
Exploring equality and Diversity is a very important concern nowadays because most of the
organizations have adopted MNC culture but there is a lot of scope of improvement in some areas like
Equality management and to manage diverse workforce. Diversity in the organization is very common as
people have started exploring opportunities globally that makes it happen. Workforce of the
organization belongs to different diversity and still they work in the same team. It becomes difficult to
manage them as they have different mindset and different way of thinking. Sometimes there are
linguistic issues too. There is huge inequality in the organizations and it has been seen in different ways
like people are discriminated as per their caste, gender, and race. Such inequalities can easily be seen in
the form of different pay for equal talent, sexual harassment in workplace (Lee and Coulehan, 2006).
There should be proper management and practices to remove such negative things from the workplace
to make it safer and healthier. There should be proper awareness campaign that can contribute in
eradication of such false practices and to educate the employees for the better future of the
organization. An organization should be free from such practices as it also impacts the image in the
market. These false practices create a lot of negativity in the organization and directly impact the goals
and objectives. Employees cannot give their hundred percent when they did not find a suitable
environment to work within. They need to be calm and positive to provide effective outcome.
