How to encourage cultural diversity in the workforce?

Hiring Process

Managers should use the following when hiring a multicultural person/foreign worker. I will provide you with five ways to encourage cultural diversity in the workplace.
  • We must acknowledge differences to admit that people have different views and cultures
     
  •  Have a bias free training for all staff
     
  •  Encourage personal evaluation on a monthly or semi-annually bases
     
  •  Ask questions whenever you do not know, (Never Assume)
     
  •  Value all diversity in the workplace

Make it a F-U-N Environment

These three letters above will make an employee as well as an organization successful. I will explain what these three letters mean below:


F- Fun- workers need to enjoy themselves while they are working by smiling, laughing, and in general have fun.



U- Unique- every worker is different from every one. They all have different cultures and values.



N- Nurturing- workers need to apply practical terms, training, teaching and treating themselves and others with care.


Be a FUN Leader

Leaders can also have fun in many ways. These ways can be helpful towards the success of their organization. They can have:

  • The ability to connect with others
     
  • The dedication to personal growth
     
  • The feeling of being alive and energetic
     
  • A strong sense of humor versus behaving too serious at work 

Below is a video to explain how to make a fun work environment.

    Cultural diversity is important to companies, especially when we conduct business globally. Many different ideas are shared when there are diverse members in the group. Language barriers are also broken down when companies hire diverse groups of people. Cultural diversity is very relevant to companies today. Great blog. Poonam
