Overview
Managing diversity is about valuing differences. It is about treating people with dignity and allowing everyone to be able to perform to their level of ability. From the organisation perspective it means improved effectiveness and efficiency.
Diversity differs from the traditional view of equal opportunities because it covers a much wider framework than legal requirements; it is an important change of emphasis. All employees must accept the differences between individuals and the value the benefits that such diversity brings.
