This paper explains that one might assume that the more
varied the
workforce population, the more opportunities for misunderstanding in the
workplace; however, in a more varied workplace population, employees are much more likely to be
tolerant of and more willing to understand each other. The author points out that, when a workforce lacks
diversity, managers and other key organizational representatives fail to put into place diversity
training programs that recognize the cultural and ethical differences of minority people. The paper concludes that sexual harassment is one example of a problem that might be mitigated by a more diverse workforce and that the case supports the argument that diversity might facilitate more
understanding and tolerance in the workplace. Table of Contents Introduction Case Analysis
