management is that it helps in retaining the choices. The well managed recruitment program
can help choosing the best candidates and enhances diversity in the organizational culture.
Business rationale argument:
Diverse working atmosphere is consists mainly of multiculturalism where the people
from different cultural background are accumulated to lead the company towards achieving
the goal. The diversity management takes care of the problems at different levels that position
the strategic, operational and managerial functions (Wrench, 2016). There must be a proper
situation and communication between the higher and lower level of management so that the
information can be properly synchronized and delivered to the lower level employees. The
senior level executives in the company are responsible to manage this multicultural
environment to which will enhance the scope for the organization. CERA needs to promote
the multicultural environment through reviewing its HR plan. It has a conventional HR policy
that only leads to trouble. This practice has to be achieved through the development of a
cohesive environment. In the workplace while the employees will see that people from
different cultural background are entering in their teams, they will be able to see one
particular issue from different points of view. This will give the scope up of understanding
one problem from different aspects which will definitely manipulate the employees to support
this diversify program. According to the theorists when a company becomes multicultural it
can overcome the loopholes in the organizations. It is to provide the Employees with an
Insight so that they can convert their dreams into reality and achieve the organizational goal
properly (Weisinger, Sowa & Word, 2017). CERA initially Mein face issues in implementing
new HR policies supporting diversity but gradually when the employees will be convinced to
create a sense of cultural awareness and think from different points of view, the problem will
be eliminated completely. They will be exposed to different types of ideas that will create the
entire work force in a large social network team which will help to increase the business base.
