Diversity is not about political correctness or keeping up with the trends.

In this day and age of globalization, the world can finally see and appreciate the power and
beauty of diversity. But while technology and innovation have enabled us to connect and
collaborate, we, as humans, haven’t been able to always keep up with the trends and
changes. Sadly, not a few organizations I know are still ages away from the ideal workplace
that we aspire to be – equal, fair, inspiring, and nurturing. Despite all the good things that
are happening to our world or our businesses, I believe that diversity can bring it to even
greater heights. Today’s gifts of advanced technology and awakening awareness give us the
perfect opportunity to embrace diversity and bring it into our realm.

My biggest advocacy is gender equality in the workplace and women empowerment. And
that is only a small aspect of diversity.
A diversified team, working in harmony and understanding, is strong, creatively superior,
dynamic, and engaging. People from all walks of life come with diverse experiences,
knowledge, ideas, viewpoints, and skills. Bringing it all to your company is a powerful force
that can spell the difference between mediocre and greatness.
Diversity is not about political correctness or keeping up with the trends. It is acknowledging
and respecting the beautiful idiosyncrasies of humans. And with this, we do not only
embrace what is beautiful and natural, but we are also using it to forward our cause and
realize our dreams.
Creating and/or transitioning to a diverse team can be tough. But, once we’ve changed our
mindset and start opening our minds to the possibilities and opportunities it presents,
embracing workplace diversity is not even a question.
