Diversity in any organisation includes hiring and promoting a workforce of people with differences. These differences include race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical abilities and economic backgrounds. The premise of a diverse workplace is that employees are brought together to create a culture of inclusiveness, where all employees feel valued. It is also vital to recognize that these differences require an individual approach to managing a diverse workforce. This is also supported by CIPD available at: http://www.cipd.co.uk/hr-resources/factsheets/diversity-workplace-overview.aspx (Accessed:19th October 2015)
