Report: Australian Administrators' Workplace Diversity Management

This report investigates workplace diversity management (WDM) in Australian organizations, focusing on administrators' attitudes, understanding, and implementation of WDM practices. The analysis reveals that while the world and workplaces have become increasingly diverse, many Australian corporations struggle with effective diversity management. A 2013 survey indicated that a significant percentage of companies were in the preliminary stages of their diversity programs. The report highlights the importance of diversity for innovation, creativity, and team involvement, leading to reduced turnover and improved performance. It also points out a lack of commitment from company leadership, with many senior managers having limited experience in workplace diversity. The findings emphasize the goal of averting employment-related issues based on race, ethnicity, and gender, promoting a diverse culture, and harnessing diverse perspectives to provide better services.
