MAIN BODY
Question 1 – downsides of diverse workplace
Diversity in the workforce refers to the acceptance, respect, equal treatment with
every employee and teamwork. There should be no discrimination among workers on
the basis of race, caste, age, gender, political beliefs, religion, communication styles of
employees. In the organisation if every employee will be treated equally then it will
boost the morale of the employees. Diversity in the workplace sometimes has negative
impacts on the organisation as when the goal of the company is to promote an
individual instead of team then diversity fails. It is not possible for the company to
promote each and every person, it is difficult for organisation to take decision (Heizer.,
Render and Munson., 2017).
Another negative impact of diversity in workforce is it creates too many opinions.
Sometimes, when managers of Woolworth want to make important decisions there are
number of opinions available which create problem for the company. The decision
making power lies with supervisor when team members are not able to take a decision
with mutual consent.
Diversity in the workplace create communication issues in Woolworth as people
are recruited from different cultures and backgrounds and they are not able to speak
same languages. Recruiting people from different areas provide unique perspective of
the organisation but it creates problem while communicating like there may be
difference in meaning of some words or understanding of an individual.
Diversity can lead to conflicts in the company as all the people are having right to
share their views and give suggestions or ideas. This may lead to conflicts among
employees in the Woolworth as all the employees are having different habits and their
working patterns also vary from each other, so this can be an issue for the company
(Iqbal., 2020). So, there are downsides of diverse workplace as opinions, culture,
languages etc. are different and this sometimes create problem for the company.
Question 2- individual employees manage their on stress
There are various ways by which individual manage their stress like they do
exercise, take deep breathe, eat well, take a break, talk about problems with
colleagues, spend some time for hobbies. For reducing the stress employees do
exercise regularly to keep their mind and body relax. Taking deep breathe for once will
help the employee in reducing stress. This is used by most of the employees of
Woolworth to reduce pressure.
It is necessary for everyone to eat properly because balance diet helps in
keeping your body and mind fresh and help in controlling mood of individual. Employees
of the company are given a break of 15 to 20 minutes to feel relaxed, in the break
