Conference Background:

Diversity in management is considered one of the essential elements fostering an organization’s development and growth. As diversity management correlates with the actions taken by the organization seeking to increase the engagement of employees from different backgrounds in the company’s structure, this phenomenon is highly connected with the organization’s short- and long-term results. Furthermore, for an organization to succeed, it must meet the expectations of a multifaceted marketplace and act concerning different cultures, ideas, and philosophies.

Such changes begin to challenge the relevancy of top management leadership based on traditional workplace rules. Furthermore, the importance of uniqueness, individualization versatility take place. Diversity management matters greatly despite the size or type of the organization, its target audience produced goods or developed services.
