Diversity, by its very nature, is always going to be something that requires special attention and care. Too often, the emphasis is placed on getting the job done and done quickly, without considering the importance of diversity within the team. This can quickly make for an unhappy workforce, that feel that they are supposed to all be the same as one another and should not stand out from the crowd.
Handling diversity in the workplace entails a greater understanding of those people around you that seem so very different. Successfully dealing with diversity requires empathy, patience, compassion and education. When successfully handled, the end result can be a happy, productive and fully unified team.
