Cross Culture Diversity at Workplace: A Literature Review

Abstract

Thanks to increased globalization, organizations, both commercial and non-commercial, are increasingly building their workforce that is as diverse and as agile as possible. Building a strong and able workforce is an essential function of the Human Resource Management (HRM) activity. This literature study begins by giving an introduction to the importance of culture and cultural diversity before laying down the focus on cross-cultural diversity for the workforce. Linking diversity to every business function or strategy helps managers build a diverse workforce. We mention change management and communication aspects of cross-culture diversity. The advantages and disadvantages that organizations accrue from designing such a workforce are put forth.
