Workplace diversity
Human resources management deals with the management of hiring, training and
development of employees. As per the perception of Kaiser, et al. 2013 it is the evaluated that it
is the separate department which is set up in organizations for the betterment of business
functioning and quality of value chain activities. Human resources management of the
organization has to deal with communication, adaptability, change and employees concerns in
effective manner. Throughout the time, various organizations such as Wesfarmers, GE capital,
Morrison and Tesco are using workplace diversity in its value chain activities with a view to
increase the business efficiency and create synergy in its organizations. However, Kaiser and
other authors has depicted that success of workplace diversity depends upon the team work,
proper training and development program and implementation of right strategies and plans.
Workplace diversity could be very effective for the organization and could result to creation of
core competency in the market. However, in case of poor training and development program and
less efficient coordination may result to destruction of business in workplace diversity.
As per the perception of Wilson, (2014) it is reflected that human resources department is
the key pillar for the success of organizations. However, if proper level of HRM practice is not
followed then it may result to following problems at workplace such as increase employees
turnover, loss of experienced employees, increased cost of production and destruction of brand
image of company. However, for the efficient business functioning HRM department needs to
recognize the implementation of immediate actions and spend resources on management of
diver. It is evaluated that if HRM department could handle workplace diversity in effective
manner then it will surely increase the overall productivity and profit of the organizations.
