Diversity in a group or organization refers to having many different forms, types, ideas, races, cultures, etc. represented. Diversity of personal values can often lead to conflicts in the workplace, especially around political issues, religious intolerance, or longstanding prejudices like sexism and racism. These conflicts may threaten workplace morale and productivity. Diversity is the recognition and acceptance of individual differences along dimensions such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, religion, or other ideologies. It involves exploring these differences in a safe, positive way to promote understanding between individuals who have diverse backgrounds or characteristics.
