Diversity Management

We assist organisations in building synergy from diversity.  Encouraging diversity is part of the job of the leadership role.  Managing diversity means enabling a heterogeneous workforce to fulfil its potential in an equitable work environment, where no one group experiences an advantage or disadvantage.

Diversity Management is concerned with the effective functioning of diverse groups of people.  Diversity can arise because of variations in ethnicity, nationality, gender differences, language, special needs, disabilities, family structure, age, sexual preferences. The challenge is not only to allow diversity to flourish, but to create synergy from diversity.

Diversity Management aims to achieve a working environment where diverse individuals can feel welcome, and are able to express themselves freely and develop to their full potential .  It also reflects on Human Resources work practices to ensure that individuals from diverse backgrounds are retained and promoted on merit.

Outcomes of the Diversity Management workshop are:

	Developing a common language of transformation and diversity within the organisation;
	Facilitating buy-in for the business imperatives of the transformation process;
	Establishing a suitable environment for achieving the Employment Equity Plan; and
	Addressing the racial and gender polarisation within the company, as well as attending to disability, while attracting and retaining critical skills.
