Managing Ethnic Diversity in WorkplaceIntroductionGlobalization has been increasing day by day, more people are travelling outside of their home countries in order to join foreign companies for better future. Whereas for non-profit organizations it essential to work with people with different background, age, religion and gender (Barron, Hebl, & King, 2011). One of the main issues in front of multinational companies is to maximize their workforce and create a situation in which every person is comfortable working with other and is giving his max output. Workplace diversity is any kind of diversity referring to gender, age, linguistic, cultural background and many others in an organization(Giacalone& Rosenfeld, 1991. Diversity also refers to other differences between employees pertaining to educational background, economic status, geographical differences etc (Bono & Judge, 2003).One may disagree that race and ethnicity impact the work environment setting more than some other setting. The work environment gives exceptional chances to express one's personality and to work intuitively with others in different focused and helpful circumstances(Bell&Nkomo, 2001).Generally people spend more time in their work place and give less time to other activities. The working environment additionally gives chances to the representation of stereotyping, preference and separation (Roberts, 2005). Individuals don't just leave their racial and ethnic personalities at home, and the working environment is not safe from societal types of racial and ethnic nature (Kanter, 1977).Understated, degraded racial minorities are consistently subjected to negative speculations, expanded assessment, social separation, and harsher appraisals in the workplace. Whereas this can increase in racial minorities' affectability toward others' impression of them among interracial connections(Ely & Thomas,2001)DiversityDiversity is generally known as accepting, valuing and acknowledging difference among humans with respect to their age, gender, race and mental ability (Burma, 1946). Diversity issues are known to be the most important issues these days as increase difference in the UK population.Companies need to look for a way to overcome these issues and provide equal rights to the people, diversity has a high potential for productivity and competitive advantage (Cialdini, 2001). Diversity will require the companies to review their management practice and develop new and creative practices which will increase the overall performance of the company (Holvino, 2010).

Women in the WorkplaceIn the modern world diversity is also driven by women working in the companies. Now days women has the highest level of participation. The numbers of dual salary families and single working moms has expanded hugely (Pinel, 1999).In other words we can say, race and ethnicity are remarkable in and matter in a mixed bag of courses at work.LegislationGlobalization has caused a huge increase in diversity due to which it has stated by law that all federal and state opportunity must provide equal opportunity to an individual and any inequity in the workplace in illegal (Thomas, 1993). Tools for Managing DiversityOne of the most important and effective tool for managers are to provide equal right to each employee, no race, gender, nationality is greater than other. Secondly manager should understand each employee expertise and use it in an effective manner which will increase the productivity of the company. According to Morgan (2002), managing diversity is process for creating work environment to include everyone.Benefits of Diversity in the WorkplaceDiversity is benefited to the employer and to the associates. Despite of the fact that associates work as interdependent in the working environment, respecting each individual can increase the overall productivity. Diversity in the work environment can lessen claims and build promoting open doors, enlistment, innovativeness, and business picture. In the modern world where flexibility and creativeness is the key to success, diversity plays a very important role and should not be overlooked (Lodahl and Kejners, 1965).Issues of diversity in the workplaceThere are many issues in managing diversity in workplaces. It is more than recognizing the differences among people. Managing diversity means to accept and acknowledge the value of differences, combating discrimination and promote their skills. According to Luhtanen& Crocker (1992) managers may also face challenges due to discrimination and legal actions taken against the organization. It not only impact outside the organization but also results in loss of productivity.Negative behavior and attitude can create barriers to organizational diversity which may harm the working relations with the employees and work loss.In progressively associations, individuals must figure out how to successfully explore interracial communications so as to develop positive expert pictures and solid work connections. (Shelton &Richeson, 2006).Culture Impacts on People in OrganizationsEvery organization evidently has some sort of culture with all its nuances. People working in that organization need to adhere to the culture in order to get fit their without having feelings of being the odd one out. Although, there is no such imposition from the executives but as the proverb says that Do in Rome as the Romans do, so there is neither external nor explicit imposition but surely there is instinctive impositions that makes one follow what is being the practice in their work domain (Ibarra, 1999). According to Janes& Olson (2000)Organizational culture usually helps in refining the people according to the standards. People start wearing formal dresses and begin to behave in a way that is socially acceptable and appreciated. For instance, people working in a sophisticated business culture start avoiding slangs and abusive terms without being instructed by anyone.ConclusionA diverse workforce is an impression of a changing world and market place. Different work groups bring high esteem to associations. Regarding individual contrasts will advantage the work environment by making a focused edge and expanding work gainfulness. Differences administration advantages partners by making a reasonable and safe environment where everybody has admittance to circumstances and difficulties. Management tools in a diverse workforce work force ought to be utilized to teach everybody about assorted qualities and its issues, including laws and regulations. Most work environments are comprised of assorted societies, so organization need to figure out how to adjust to be effective.

Awareness CampaignAwareness raising campaigns with companies / diversity awardsFor this awareness campaign we have decided to set an award for those companies who have achieved highest level of workforce diversity in their companies and are using their full resources. We have named that award Developed Companies Award (DC)DC Awards (Developed Companies)a. Grounds of discrimination covered by the initiative. Gender, Age, Race and Ethnicity, Religion,Sexual orientation, Disability.MDC Award- Most honor reward for Diversity in the Workplace. The DC Award is a standout amongst the best mindfulness raising battles with respect to against separation enactment on each of the six grounds of separation and advancement of equivalent open doors on the job market. One of alternate targets of the DC Award is likewise to distinguish and convey best practice on advancing equivalent open doors for all representatives paying little respect to their sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, religion, age, sexual introduction or inability.These best practices are showcased at the yearly grant service which unites agents from common society, executive and worker associations, state and districts, little and medium estimated and also substantial universal Danish organizations. A page committed to the MDC grant likewise adds to this goal.b. Overview of the project elements how to?Add to an undertaking arrangement and thoroughly consider how this activity can advantage your work in advancing correspondence and against separation in the work market. Select a jury and include their associations in the task by setting up a working gathering (associations can be delegates of distinctive gatherings of the work market, both superintendent and representative agents and open and private work environment delegates what's more, NGOs representation to the diverse grounds of separation).c.

Planning time required how much time do you need?The DC Award is a one year-venture cycle with work. As national equity bodies get to be more acquainted with the methodology, a few task components can be streamlined.Challenges encounteredGetting the consideration of organizations can be a troublesome assignment. Building an association with them requires various business contacts (both via phone and physical visits to the organizations). This is drawn out yet compensating as far as the effect picked up by the individual organization. Distinctive things make it harder to advance this plan and stand out enough to be noticed (e.g. times of budgetary emergency when organizations can have different needs regarding time and cash).The case for business involvement

Diversity in the work environment refers to the security, appreciation and incorporation of the individual properties that every worker contributes. While organizations at first gave consideration to those qualities that were secured by enactment (race, sex, religion, national origin, age, and handicap) organizations are progressively building organization societies that likewise regard backgrounds, language, abilities, aptitudes, points of view and individual styles (Bunderson&Kathleen, 2012).The issueGreat managers esteem diversity. People will perform at workplace to the best of their capacity when their personality and the distinction in commitment that may spill out of that are esteemed (Jehn, 1995). Diversity is useful for business in light of the fact that a scope of representatives with a scope of foundations will bring distinctive thoughts and empower a superintendent to engage diverse parts of the commercial center. This adds to advancement and achievement. We will focus on particular parts of campaigning on diversity, sexual orientation and race equality (Jehn&Katerina, 2004).According to BITC (2014), In the UK, employment rates are lopsided most recent figures from the Labor Force Survey (July - September 2014) demonstrates the general occupation rate as 73.2% contrasted with 62.4% for BAME individuals a job rate hole of 10.8 rate. The UK ethnic minority unemployment rate was 11.4% compared to 6.5% for people overall. Pakistani People had the highest unemployment rate out of all ethnic groups at 15%, for white people this stood at 5.6%. People from the Black ethnic minority group had the second highest unemployment rate at 14.6% followed closely by the mixed ethnicity group at 14.3%. In the UK workplace, ethnic minority representation at different levels of management is disproportionate:3. Reduction in Ethnic Minority Youth UnemploymentThere were a little more than 7 million youngsters in the working-age populace of which a little more than 1 million or 14% were from an ethnic minority foundation .However, the rates of unemployment for youthful ethnic minorities matured 16 - 24 years of age are unbalanced.

SuggestionsMonitor and involve in real life to lessen youth unemployment. Create pre-internship opportunities, apprenticeships area or profession based workshops and work-prepared backing for youngsters from various foundations (Pitts, 2005). Try to give criticism to unsuccessful competitors with the goal that they can improve the quality their applications later on. According to Wright (2010) assemble and backing their representatives to be included in proportional tutoring of youngsters between ages 16-24 by means of worker systems and as a major aspect of their more extensive CR responsibility to representative volunteering projects and activities guaranteeing that 20% of youngsters are BAME.

Video

The message being conveyed in this video is that no employer can do discrimination among employees. Discrimination can be in terms of sex, age, nationality, culture, marriage or relationship, pregnancy or maternity. There is a different example how the employers discriminated among employees. For example, one of the employees may not get promoted due to her age or some may not get all the benefits (wage, training, health benefits) and many more examples. Each individual employee should be treated equally in terms of pay, health benefits and training. No human is superior then another. The entire employees have same and equal right weather its man or women, black or white, belongs nationality. Having diverse workforce increases your capability and helps you achieve the target.
