Cultural Differences

It is essential to note that culture ensures an organization's success in different aspects in

an organization. Culture is a critical underlying value known for giving direction on how people

behave in an organization. Differences in a culture referred to as cultural diversity in an

organization are caused by practices, traditions, or beliefs of employees according to race, religion,

ethnicity, age, and gender. The main factor that contributes to cultural diversity in the workplace.

The modern workforce in different organizations is featured with different genders, religions, ages,

and nationalities (Mariani, Borghi & Okumus, 2020).

However, workforce diversity benefits are featured with providing both material and

intangible services in an organization. Most importantly, for the organization to reap the benefits

of cultural diversity noted at the workplace, there is a need for communication and commitment

to solving the different challenges associated with a diverse workforce. Employees are supposed

to understand diversity at the workplace and work together to achieve a common goal.

Therefore, it is the leadership role to establish a common ground for employees in the

workplace to work together and meet the organization's common goals. Leadership should select

the right communication strategies among the different races, sharing resources, and ensuring that

employees interact to be successful. Hence, it is a leadership issue to solve the cultural difference

in an organization. The common problems that the leadership should solve include conflict,

harassment, and disregarding needs (Schmidt, Heffernan & Ward, 2020). Providing sensitivity

training, creating written policies, and making an accountability plan at the workplace can be vital

for solving this problem.
