Abstract
Diversity may serve as a leaning opportunity instead of liability in an organizational culture that promotes and practices diversity. In line with contemporary literature, this paper asserts that diversity in the workplace may lead to improved organizational performance as the inclusion of diverse individuals in the organization may enhance similarities that promote positive communication and practices and simultaneously minimizes differences that may divide individuals personally as vital members of the organization. The literature reviewed for this research paper confirms that diversity in the workplace contributes to the organization’s ability to leverage its similarities as it also helps the organization, along with the diverse individuals who comprise it, in appreciation of their unique differences.
