DIVERSITY, RIGHTS, ETHICS, WORK-LIFE BALANCE

HRM focuses on people, addressing their emotions, perceptions, values, and prejudices. It adapts to constant changes in society, such as COVID-19, and is sensitive to the societal changes that affect workers.

3.1.What Is Diversity?

Diversity, often associated with ethnicity, race, and gender, is a broader concept that encompasses human qualities that are different from our own and present in other individuals and groups. Dimensions of diversity include age, ethnicity, ancestry, gender, physical abilities, race, sexual orientation, educational background, geographic location, income, marital status, military experience, religious beliefs, parental status, and work experience.

  • How Businesses Benefit from Diversity

Encouraging diversity in the workplace has positive effects on risk mitigation, global customer appeal, interpersonal innovation, and talent availability. It improves creativity, originality, problem-solving, and decision-making, which helps with improved product development and effective marketing.

I. Innovation.
II. Localization.
III. Adaptability.

  • Challenges to Diversity

Defining diversity in the workplace presents challenges, including defining it and implementing it effectively. Despite its advantages, a diverse workforce faces challenges in assimilation, wage equality, and upper-level opportunities. Some of the most common challenges to building a diverse workforce are the following:

I. Stereotypes.
II. Culture. 
III. Communication.

Diversity benefits organizations but poses challenges like mismanagement due to legal frameworks. Fair, ethical hiring practices and pay equity are crucial, as legal ramifications can lead to high fiscal, branding, and reputation costs.

3.2.Ethics

Ethics in HRM is whereby human resource professionals or business managers help an organization embed and uphold its set values regardless of levels. This is so that they can be able to build, sustain, and improve employee trust and relations.
