Challenges

    ·       Language

Language can be big problem in a diverse workplace. Employees might speak one common language but the accent and idioms they use can lead to a misinterpreted communication. On other hand nonverbal communication change a lot of things. for instance, in every country the way people greet with each other is different.

The kind of actions they use may differ like maintaining eye contact, physical space, working techniques and many more.

    ·       Working styles

Different working styles can prove a good thing for a company. But sometimes it can prove to be a source of problem for a company.

Each employee who comes from different regions bring different techniques and working ethnicity with them. Their attitudes towards work are different. An Indian employee may be used to working by writing everything down whereas an American employee may be habitual of using their electronic devises.

    ·       Discrimination

The leaders do a lot to bring diversity at a workplace like building diversity programs. This might not bring complete change as discrimination brings conflicts. These conflicts can impact their performance and team morale.

The leaders set certain rules and protocols so that each employee knows the policies.

    ·         Not letting their voice heard

Some companies require employees who are enthusiastic and energetic. Employees from Asian countries are don’t express their ideas openly. Through which they do not grow in their careers and end up in entry level jobs. On the other hand, there are employees who are very open and love expressing their ideas. (Reynolds, 2017)
