Diversity in the workplace is phenomenon that has surfaced in recent years as an outgrowth of globalization, emerging markets, and demographic changes.

I argue to truly be a diversity-driven organization, leadership must first develop a diverse workforce; to accomplish this feat management must acknowledge diversity as a business imperative and strive for inclusivity and representation at
