The world has become a global village. People all over the world have started taking jobs globally for a better career and better opportunities. A workplace that has a diverse workforce would also result in difficult managing abilities. Here diversity applies to people from different ethnic groups and races, but also people from different age groups and generations. Men and women work together as colleagues in the same company, such a situation is also termed as business diversity. This heterogeneous kind of work force surely needs efficient management, although this falls under jurisdiction of the HR or the Human Resource Management. But considering the amount of work this task has, there is a separate department that caters to the needs and problems and grievances of the diverse workforce. According to the Supreme Court, the US employees are prohibited from considering race, religion, gender or ethnicity as a factor for hiring employees.
