GENDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION2
Introduction
Workplace discrimination or employment discrimination mainly occurs when the
employees or the job applicants are treated unfavorably in comparison to the others. The major
reason behind lack of equality in treatment provided to the employees can be based on different
factors that include skin color, race, gender, religion, age, national origin and age. The major
issue that had been discussed previously was based on the issues that are faced by women in
different organizations (Combs & Milosevic, 2016). Gender discrimination and its impact on the
female employees of the organization had been discussed in the assignment previously. The
report will be based on the literature review that will be developed with respect to the impact that
diversity, cultural competency and ethics have on the decisions that are made in the
organizations. The aspects related to effective communication that are applied to the individuals
and groups will also be discussed in the report in detail (Grissom, 2018).
Analysis of impact of diversity, ethics and cultural competency on decision-
making process
Cultural competency can be defined as the ability to understand and also communicate
with people who belong to different cultures. The enhancement of cultural competency in the
organizations can play a major role in increasing the diversity levels in an effective manner. The
different aspects or levels that have to be taken into consideration for understanding the cultural
values of employees include cultural knowledge, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity and
cultural competence (Jones et al., 2017). Cultural knowledge is based on the knowledge that the
employees have about the history, values, beliefs and characteristics of a different cultural or
ethnic group.
