Introduction
Communication and diversity in workplaces is one of the primary fundamental factors
in the success of any organization effectiveness. Considerations must be made for the
changing and varying demographics that will be in contact with the organization. Workplace
leadership in Australia is affected in different ways by the cultural diversity in many
organizations especially multi-nationals. When dealing with this kind of organizations, the
effects of communications to a diverse population is necessary for the growth of the
workplace interrelations (Al-Jenaibi, 2017).
Intercultural communications in business
Ladegaard, H. J., & Jenks, C. J. (2015). Language and intercultural communication in the
workplace: critical approaches to theory and practice. Language and Intercultural
Communication, 15(1), 1-12.
In this article Ladegaard and Jenks review how to deal with intercultural
communications in an organization and leadership, gender barriers, language barriers and
cultural barriers are the single most common barriers that affect communication. Australia
has opened its doors to many people from varying nationalities and cross cultures. The
authors use data research to see why people seek important workplace positions for
advancement of the careers and to patronize businesses without the urge to erode or lose their
cultures in the process. Their research focus on how to get an effective communication
system within the organizations allows them to hold some of their cultures that make them
unique and diverse while allowing them to fit in within the organizational cultures (Ang, &
Van Dyne, 2015).
Diversity and intercultural mix are an interesting fabric to the Australian workforce
and society. An organization helps its workforce learn about the fascinating way to grow

culturally and become a well-rounded employee in the organization. People in an
organization will look at more than what is on the outside and explore the simple intricacies
that make people and organizations who they are due to diversity. This allows a leader to
effectively communicate with them. This article will be influential in supplementary for my
research and pay structure.
The Effects of Cultural Diversity in the Workplace
Holmes, P. (2017). Intercultural communication in the global workplace, critical
approaches. The international encyclopedia of intercultural communication, 1-16.
Holmes in this article shows how many people in an organization fail to realize the
importance of cultural diversity as pertaining employment in Australia. Australia was
founded on the fundamental principles that it could embrace different cultures who will be
welcomed and live harmoniously in the society without persecutions. The author uses data
research in a workplace setting, the effects of cultural diversity in has different meaning to
those in the minority of the spectrum. Over the years, a lot of stories of discrimination in
regards to race, gender and religion have been reported in workplaces (Holmes, & Stubbe,
2015).the article is useful to my reaserch as a Language, perceptual and cultural barriers need
to be eliminated and overcome in order for programs in intercultural diversity to succeed. The
limitations to this research is low morale, lack of teamwork in an organization and key
objectives confusion are as a result of ineffective communication.
