Global Diversity: Gender, Age, and Race

Global Diversity: Gender, Age, and Race


When people think of Diversity, they usually think in terms of race, national origin, and skin color. Diversity encompasses far more than what meets the eye: Gender, Sexual Orientation, Ability, Religion, Life Experience, and Age. Over the past few decades, business leaders have started to support and embrace diversity. Two fundamental changes have led to this directional shift: the business world has become more global (and therefore more aware of diversity) and the practice of work has become more team focused.
