Most regions and countries in the world are experiencing
increasingly diverse populations and labour markets. While the
causes may vary, the challenges businesses face due to a heightened
awareness of this diversity are often similar. Internally,
organisations promote diversity and manage increasingly
heterogeneous workforces, accommodate and integrate employees with
different value and belief systems, and combat a range of different
forms of discrimination with organisational and also societal
consequences. Externally, organisations have to manage demands from
government, consumer, and lobbying sources for the implementation
of anti-discrimination policies and laws. This has generated demand
for appropriate higher level teaching programmes and for more
diversity-focused research. Diversity in the Workplace responds to
the increasing social and political debate and interest in
diversity throughout Europe. The contributors discuss the concept
of diversity in different social and legal contexts and from the
perspectives of different academic disciplines including sociology,
anthropology, psychology, philosophy and organizational theory. The
book includes a European view and the makings of a conceptual
framework to literature on diversity that hitherto has tended to be
US orientated and overwhelmingly practice focused. It will
stimulate fruitful exchanges of ideas about different approaches to
the challenges faced by businesses and organisations of all kinds.
With chapters by authors involved in research into diversity issues
at leading academic institutions across Europe, this book offers
much that will interest academics, researchers and higher level
students, as well as practitioners wanting to understand managing
workforce diversity; affirmative action programmes; and
anti-discriminatory policy and practice in a wider context.
