Abstract

Workforce diversity is to further the accessibility of equal opportunities in the workplace in context to organizations in India. This equal opportunity philosophy is to ensure that organizations make the most out of the difference from a diverse workforce rather than losing talent which might assist the organization to be more efficient and effective. Diversity brings with it, the heterogeneity that needs to be nurtured, cultivated and appreciated. As the demographics of people in every continent are changing at a rapid pace, workplace diversity is going to increase. Organizations which are managing diversity know the value of diversity so for reaping benefits they have started on valuing and managing diversity. Organizations which acknowledge the value of diversity on time will have a competitive advantage on others. Diversity is transformed to higher performance in the workplace through those who are enthusiastic and committed to work. The focus of this paper is on impacts of workforce diversity on Indian organizations, what they are doing to mix up in Indian culture; behavior of Indian organizations towards diversity and some studies has been presented conducted in India on workforce aspects.
