Workplace Diversity - Equal Opportunity for All

Workplace diversity promotes equal opportunity and value cultural differences, tapping the skills, talents and education of employees to meaningfully contribute to the organization's success.

Hiring people from diverse cultures, beliefs, background and sexual orientations and respecting their individual differences creates a competitive edge and increases work creativity, innovation and productivity. Supervisors and managers in particular have a critical role to play in creating a successful, diverse workforce. Management should never use negative attitudes and behaviors in the workplace such as discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice for hiring, retention, and termination practices.

Workplace diversity encompasses the values of equality, respect and opportunity for all. It fosters a safe, positive and nurturing environment where everyone has access to opportunities and challenges.
