A global economy brings with it a diverse workforce. Workplace diversity encompasses race, gender, ethnic group, age, personality type, educational background and work experience.
Managers need to be careful and ensure that decisions and actions are not influenced by stereotypical views. “Ethnic minorities lack qualification, women with young children are less committed to work, disabled employees are more likely to be sick than others and older workers lack ambition and enthusiasm”. These could be some of the stereotypical presumptions that exist. These should be avoided.
