Diversity in the Workplace - Better Work Environment

What can we do to stop diversity from happening in the workplace? We can work hard with employees or co-workers who are coming in from a different country and need help learning English. We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and we should always stand up for those who are being discriminated for who they are and show other employees that having people from other races, cultures, or anything else can make a huge difference in the workplace just by having them as one of the team. Having diversity isn’t a bad thing and people should not have to feel judge for who they are.

For people to come forward and stand up for who they are is incredible, and I think that more people should not be afraid of being judge for who they are. If you are 76, working hard, and love working, then you shouldn’t feel obligated to retire just because your boss thinks you are too old to be working. If you are from a different religion, and someone else feels that what you believe is wrong and argue with you that his or her religion is better than yours is. You don’t have to fight with them about it, everyone believes in something different, and even if you don’t agree, neither of you have to bring it into the workplace.

Gender is also a huge diversity in the workplace, sometimes men think that they can do anything better than women can, but at the end of the day; it shouldn’t matter if you are male or female. If you are getting the job done, and doing it well, then gender shouldn’t have to play a role in rewarding that employee for accomplishing a job. Bringing both male and females into the workplace can bring more knowledge and teamwork into any job. Men and women both bring different things to the table, so why bring sexism into the workplace, when you can instead work hard with one another, it'll make for a better work environment and make everyone feel welcome.

At the end of the day, you are what matters most to yourself, and you shouldn't have to fear being judged on a day-to-day basis. Work hard on you, and never let anyone tell you who you are.
