Diversity Management in Organizational Development

Many organizations aspire to build diverse teams that boost innovation and performance through varied perspectives and experiences. However, workforces often remain surprisingly homogeneous, or challenges arise: people with new or different perspectives may not even apply, new hires don’t stay long, or diverse teams experience more misunderstandings and conflicts. This can be unfamiliar territory for leaders and requires new skills. As a result, organizations often slow down their efforts to open up or stagnate in their diversity initiatives.

Projects

For diversity to truly work within an organization, the right structures and skills are essential. Some implicit expectations need to be made explicit. It requires a constructive approach to mistakes and a conscious leadership culture that embraces and affirms diversity.

Leaders also need to learn how to handle discrimination. Organizations require a tailored strategy to promote diversity and ensure a professional approach to managing cases of discrimination.
