The diversity that lies at the heart of every single individual, whether they are old or young, male or female, ought to be celebrated and embraced at our place of business. Why?
Diversity, the differences that make us who we are, do not drive us apart, but rather bring us together. Diversity can be a driving force and factor to creating a cohesive work place and team at the office.
How so? When we embrace these differences amongst our staff and our coworkers, we are in fact embracing the people as they are. We are allowing them to foster and grow in our workplace by being themselves, rather than forcing them to change and be molded into something they are not.
To continually force people to adopt patterns of thinking that are foreign to who they are and their character is to continually drive them away. They will constantly be aware of the need to change who they are, and nobody wants that.
Instead of forcing people to change, if we embrace them and allow them to celebrate who they are and be celebrated in our midst, they will see the office and culture of business they are in as one that embraces them and pushes them to be nothing else than themselves. People in this sort of environment flourish and want to stay.
