Diversity in the workplace is increasingly a topic of discussion. Various studies  have attempted to quantify the impact of diversity on the success of an  organization. While the resulting statistics and conclusions may differ, what is  not in dispute is the fact that today’s employees and their leaders encounter a  wide range of differences when interacting with their colleagues. When  addressed poorly, these differences may cause conflict and reduce productivity.  If well-managed, this richness of diversity may create an environment of  inclusion resulting in strong work teams.
