Challenges for diversity
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)
