Workplace
diversity, globally, workforces have become more diverse because they have
included increasing numbers of the following groups of people:
- Women;
- Immigrants
(and those who speak foreign languages);
- Representatives
of a minority religion or ethnic group;
- People
of various sexual orientations;
- Members
of unconventional family structures, including single-parent families,
- Elderly
people,
- People with disabilities,
Organizations
who implement workplace diversity programs are concerned about the diversity of
a global customer base. Foreign language and culture skills, ingenuity, humor,
and careful listening, are examples of traits that workplace diversity programs
typically require. It would appear that these evidence a general shift to the
human capital point of view, and an acknowledgement that human beings do
contribute much more to a productive enterprise than "work": they
bring their character, their ethics, their creativity, their social
connections, and in some cases even their pets and children, and alter the
character of a workplace.
With
diversity organization can using the advance of understanding various
situations also costumers and use it to develop suitable decision and format in
business situation.
Now days people
working most with the semi system of the virtual team and face-to-face working
groups. Like more people using the electronic mail, short/ multimedia massage
service. Mobile phone, facsimile, even the teleconference but as human still
need face-to-face meeting. The draft of agreement, the negotiation and so on
but still at last the feeling and emotional of the human not yet replace by the
virtual teams.
E-business,
E-mail, E-banking, and E-learning are few examples in information technology
era. The replacement of paper work and face-to-face interaction reduce
transportation time, and make our world ‘flat’. Through the virtual computer
programs people from the other side of world are able to communicate instantly
beyond time and space frame.
