diverse workplace can bring in a unique experience and
new age capabilities in the workplace. It will therefore also
require collaboration, effective communication, innovation
and creative thinking in the workplace. Enabling all these
will help the organization to enable a better understanding
of the mindset of their customers. Taking the example of a
diverse situation where the women are often known to
make decision in their house when it comes to buy and eat
something. Therefore in the FMCG sectors enabling the
female employees at work will help the organization to
understand what drives the decision making when it
comes to recommend a new product or innovating
something to meet the requirement.

business is operating the more the
potential ethical conundrums are posed by
the technology which becomes apparent

every day in the operations of the business

is also creates new challenges in the process
and daily operations of the business which

competencies and talents while ignoring
the demographic factors like gender, race,
and age. Diversity and ethics is also related
with these as because only being diversity
friendly about the changing process in the
system is not the solution for any business.

different level of change in the mindset of the
employees working. In order to promote
diversity, ethics and technology in workplace
the organization should not promote
compensation and benefit in term of gender
parity (Harvey & Allard 2015). The organizations
should also promote various types of mentoring
and coaching process which will help the
minorities to gain courage and confidence in the
employees to accept the diverse working styles
and approaches in the problem solving.

organizations business partners or the
teams who are located in different areas
or in different geo graphical locations
have to work under the same platform.

Technology
 Technology can encourage unethical
communication in the workplace in a number of
ways. Taking for the examples of images and
messages which are involved in the process of
communication, in the present era the media is
known to reflect very vulgar and offending
messages. The authors Parkes, Westerveld &
Unterhalte (2016) says that when some
message is send via the computer, the receiver
of the message might offend the employees
who are within their own culture and when in
another culture of the organization.

Technology
 The article which was presented by the
author also says how one of the culture might
use a certain color to transmit the particular
information. That is using green text for the
positive changes and using the red color for
the negative changes in the team. This
change in the color before transmission of
data might be understood in a different way
by the other culture. This might lead to more
difficulties and error full transmission of
information between the cultures.
