As per the view of Utoft, (2020) each organisation like to involve diverse workforce at one
place to gain more innovative ideas. Workplace diversity is helpful for business in managing
productivity in better manner. But it is very difficult for the management to deal with
different race, culture people. Hiring of diverse workforce helps in getting pool of talented
people those who can contribute well in the success of business unit. This is essential in
expansion of the firm. If organisations are having workers from different culture then it
supports in running operations in the global level in significant level.
Schmidt and et.al., (2020) argued that diverse workforce helps in aligning culture of
organisation in better manner and also it raises workplace management as well. In order to
manage this culture diverse workforce companies need to enhance communication at
workplace. Proper communication develop bond between employees and managers. That
supports in understanding each other and minimising confusion as well. By this way task can
be completed on time without any trouble. According to Aydin and Ozeren, (2020)
encouraging team by giving them rewards and recognition is another great way to manage
diverse workforce. If companies are motivating people by evaluating their performance and
giving them appraisal on the bases of their performance. Then it develops confidence among
them and they become loyal towards the brand and work hard to meet organisational
objectives.
