  78. Managing Diversity
  79. Managing Director Diversity in the Workplace
  80. uh,
  81. diversity can be managed by creating a
  82. zero tolerance policy for discrimination or bias
  83. is and having a one standard of rules for everybody in the organisation,
  84. regardless of their differences and also
  85. judging people
  86. according to their merits instead of their differences.
  87. When someone does something good or when someone has, uh, contribute, um,
  88. while in the company
  89. to manage diversity well is when one, uh,
  90. celebrates or I was the person for their merit and not because
  91. maybe they're Indian and because people assume Indians no myth better,
  92. for example,
  93. and also having sensitivity training for employees so that they don't
  94. triggers with other employees that are different from them or they don't
  95. offend them in their language is in the way they talk
  96. to them because they may not be familiar with that person's,
  97. um culture or that person's religion
  98. so they could be very offensive and which
  99. hinders the productivity and harmony and the company also
  100. encouraging employees to working groups will help them to
  101. learn to socialise and learn about each other.
  102. And this creates understanding between between the employees
  103. also in hiring employees
  104. when hiring employees.
  105. It is important that you encourage people from different backgrounds to apply for
  106. certain for those positions so that there is diversity in the work environment
  107. recognising diversity Team
  108. diversity in the workplace can be recognised by acknowledging each one's
  109. experiences without limiting them when someone is different from you and
  110. it doesn't mean they cannot do a specific task or
  111. they will not be able to learn a specific task.
  112. Also,
  113. recognising diversity includes giving fair
  114. opportunities to individuals potentials,
  115. so not giving others.
  116. Uh, these opportunities and then um, excluding others from those opportunities,
  117. even though they are capable of growing from those opportunities that they can get
  118. and then also fair access to resources
  119. and celebrating and respecting each other's differences
  120. helps helps the employees recognise each other's diversity.
  121. And the examples, for example, that I made here is in the workplace. An example is,
  122. uh, celebrating the culture or the religion, not only celebrating
  123. also celebrating Hinduism or the Valley,
  124. and also another example.
  125. It could be probably because Muslims always, um, consider there.
  126. Muslims also always consider their religion when going into the workplace.
  127. So maybe during, uh, employee
  128. during employee lunches or celebrations, consider them and have boundaries,
  129. do not offer them food that has a park or that they do not.
  130. That is not halal,
  131. that is example of recognising diversity because
  132. you recognise those people that they don't.
  133. They are there, but they don't eat certain food,
  134. and you will cater for them because you recognised their present in the company
