M3 U2 Individual Assignment: Organisational Analysis Diversity
Management
Think back to an organisation where you enjoyed working. What were the
top three reasons that you enjoyed working there? For many, one of those
responses is the people. Now, think about the people that were at that
organisation. Was everyone the same, or were they a diverse group of people.
Within a diverse group, do you think team members would complement or detract
from your skills and abilities?
As innovation processes depend on harnessing creativity, and while
dynamic as well as supportive systems of management can elicit the best from
staff, like-minded people will usually produce like-minded results. Diversity
in the workforce can, however, help companies to break this mould and the cycle
of limited unilateral thinking and, in so doing, set them free to discover new
products, markets, and ways of doing or leading business.
(European Community, n.d.:4)
Although you may understand the reasoning behind diversity within an
organisation, it may be more difficult to explain to others who have primarily
worked with like-minded people. As a manager, you may be called upon to train
others about the purpose of diversity management within an organisation.
Consider how you would explain the benefits and costs of diversity management
to your assigned organisation, as well the potential issues that may arise from
your organisation building a more diverse workforce. In this Individual
Assignment, you will analyse approaches to diversity management within your
scenario organisation.
