dc.description.abstractGiven the globalized nature of the contemporary business environment, organisations require more interaction among people from diverse cultures and heterogeneous demographic characteristics than ever before. Consequently, organisations have no other feasible choice but to adopt and implement diversity initiatives that align sameness or differences in workforce composition to build inclusive workplace. This paper sought to examine the homogeneity and heterogeneity of the workforce with a view of leveraging on diversity management to build inclusive workplace. The paper review extant studies on the subject matter to achieve the focal objectives highlighted. The paper documented that diversity management is characterized by ambiguity; as there are numerous diverse reasons and initiatives of diversity management. Moreover, effective diversity management propel cohesion that integrate all members of the organization. The paper further noted that organisational commitment to diversity is rooted less on a moral dictate toward justice and fairness and more on self-serving desire to address external pressures and achieve other desirable outcomes. Consequently, most firms approached diversity issue as a basic response to change which does not capture its essence. The paper concludes that diversity management is good for business and should be viewed as a key mechanism for improving business competitiveness. Similarly, effective diversity management can lead to better talent management and possession of competence to solve long-term problems.en_US
