the racial, educational background differences and age differences too. The result is that the
senior executives are to find specific ways for effectively leading the employees in organizations

diversity and the associated challenges for improving the performance. Hence, there is a need to
have diverse management skills for managing people effectively and fulfill their diverse needs.

e) How to reduce level of stress in your employees?
As an HR manager, I would follow the following steps to reduce stress in my employees.
 Encourage the workplace wellness through the members of the organization. I will
encourage them to have short breaks and revamp themselves for work.
 I will also allow remote working and flexible hours. Tis freedom will improve the office
morale and the employees will have trust on the company.
 The social activities will also be encouraged breaking the communication barriers.
 I will further make arrangements for providing distance or onsite counseling. This will
help them handle their job stress.
 The extraordinary employees will be recognized and praised for their job. Taken for
example, the appraisal programs arranged annually will encourage them (Marchewka, 2016).
The program has to be in an unbiased manner. The employees in this manner will be
comfortable and happier having lowered all their stress levels.
