explain what it means by promoting diversity and give examples of how this may be used in a workplace e.g yout

Answer 1

Promotion of diversity means the acknowledgement that not everyone is the same and that these differences can provide skills which are beneficial to the workplace. So, if you have a Hispanic person working in a bank, it is likely they can speak Spanish - useful if you have Spanish speaking customers. Having a female police officer or doctor help with dealing with a woman who has been sexually assaulted.

Answer 2

It's just the latest scam from the race equality industry. From what I've seen they don't actually define what diversity is, but hint at it being something to do with emphasizing and encouraging personal differences in the workplace. This just encourages paranoia amongst minorities (racial, sexual or whatever) and amongst anyone who feels they might upset them. A grown up organisation or society would just treat everyone equally and ignore the consultants, advisers, drama groups and other clowns who've jumped on this latest bandwagon.

Answer 3

'Promoting diversity' is nothing more than accepting lesser qualified people with less talent or abilities. It's done under the guise of wanting to be more 'fair' to those who can't cope with limits and standards as they are. For example a woman Police Officer is not going to be able, on average, to tackle a 300 pound man on crack choking a child; certain races of people do not score well enough to enter the best schools so they are accepted because of their color and not their ability; people who score low on entrance exams for certain jobs are given points if they are minorities. This is simply wrong. I know that if I need eye surgery, that I want the best trained doctor, not the one that was hired because of their color or gender...

Answer 4

the promotion of equality and fairness at work i.e. do not treat people differently to others despite colour, religion, sexuality, disability sex age etc
