Communication and Culture


Workplace Diversity

With the diversity of people from different cultures its eventually going to transition to the workplace, therein lies the challenge. There is a great need for honest and open communication in the workplace and the sooner employers provide systems to incorporate with workplace diversity, the better.  It’s a great idea to incorporate diversity and celebrate in monthly.  For example, the month of May, it will be great to celebrate Cinco de Mayo for our Mexican co-workers. It would be great to celebrate Hanukkah in December for our Jewish co-worker.

  1. Tamakio,

    With every religion and every culture combined their are tons of different Holidays, do you think we should celebrate all of those or just the ones who mean something to those we work with? Or should we just be respectful of everyones differences and all the different Holidays people celebrate?

  2. Tamakio, the workplace is great place to start with diversity. Incorporating various customs and traditions gives everyone experiences that they may not have had.

  3. Work place diversity is essential to ensuring that everyone is comfortable and respected at work. It is important to recognize those that we work with, and you had some great ideas for doing that. Do you have a great turn out for the celebrations you have at work?

  4. You have made a great point. I feel if your co-workers want to celebrate one tradition, I think you should celebrate all traditions. I agree with Tammy, "Work place diversity is essential to ensuring that everyone is comfortable and respected at work".
