The impact of diversity and inclusion in the workforce
Literature Review
Age Diversity
Gröschl conducted the study to describe the effect of age diversity on the functioning of
the organization (Gröschl, 2016). The findings of the study describe that it has a positive impact
on the employees of the organization it is due to the reason that it increases innovation because
of working with diverse talented employees. However, the study revealed that it influences the
workforce in a highly negative manner because of increasing the conflicts among millenials and
baby boomer. The employees of the organization have a different reaction on the diverse age of
employees in the organization (Brown, 2017). It is because the estimation describes that it
become the trend to hire baby boomers and millennials. Age diversity is the acceptance of all
ages in the work environment and it influences more companies due to the aging population
(Camm, et al., 2018).
The study describes that age diversity leads to increasing the profits of the organization
because of raising the effects in the employees (Gibson & Fernandez, 2018). It is due to the
reason it increases the capability of the individuals to get a different perspective from diverse
groups in the workplace. However, Leslie revealed that it increases the efficiency and
productivity of the employees because of raising competitive capability among different
employees. The estimation revealed that it reduces the turnover in the organization because of
increasing loyalty in the employees (Leslie, 2017). The different author provides different
opinions and revealed that age diversity increases communication conflicts due to the difference
in the perception and attitudes of the employees.
The gender gap is the main issue in the organization which sometimes reduces the
motivation level of the employees in the organization. Researchers also revealed that it raises the
positive attitude because of raising teamwork and coordination among the employees of the
organization (Lambert, 2016). The estimation revealed that the organization conducts its
operations in a highly competitive environment, therefore millennials move out from the current
job every 5 years.

Analysis
The above investigation revealed that diversity has both positive as well as a negative
effect on the employees of the organization (Brown, 2017). Researchers analyzed that it leads in
reducing the turnover rate and increase the capability of the individuals in improving their
efficiency (Gröschl, 2016). However, in comparison to this other study describe the negative
influence of age diversity on the employees and revealed that it increases the age gap and raises
the conflicts between different groups in the organization. Further, it also results in influencing
the efficiency of the working environment. Researchers also have similar opinions about age
diversity and describe that organization recruits diverse age employees to gain competitive
advantage and to conduct their operations efficiently in a highly competitive environment. In my
opinion, age diversity leads in increasing innovation, collaboration and raising the performance
of the employees and there is an association among diversity, inclusion as well as productivity of
the employees. However, studies do not provide information about the degree of impact age
diversity has on the workforce it is because the percentage of influence leads in providing
accurate information about the subject matter.
Racial Diversity
O’Brien et al. demonstrate that racial diversity leads in providing a positive influence in
the workforce to the organization. The data collection is done through adopting a secondary
method that is by reviewing the different literature (O’Brien, Scheffer, Nes, & Lee, 2015). The
findings of the study revealed that racial diversity leads in increasing diverse talent in the
organization and increase morale due to more efficient and skilled employees. The study is also
conducted by raising satisfaction because of providing more productive results. However,
researchers also revealed that racial diversity leads in reducing discrimination among employees
and raise the gap due to different ethics, philosophies of the employees (Hofhuis, Zee, & Otten,
2015). Racial diversity is considered a group of diverse people with different ethics, philosophy
and identity in the organization.
The study also revealed that racial diversity increases a negative impact on the human
resource of the organization (Owen & Temesvary, 2018). It is because of increasing barriers,
