Which of the following is an explanation of diversity management?

Explanation

Respecting employees' diversity in gender, age, nationality and more to energise the organisation — diversity management treats differences as a source of strength.

Diversity management actively accepts and makes use of differences among employees — gender, age, nationality, disability, values and ways of working — so that varied perspectives raise creativity and the organisation's competitiveness.

Answer (d)

  • •(a) — labour and management agreeing on working conditions and cooperating to raise profits describes labour-management cooperation
  • •(b) — harmonising work and private life so employees work with a sense of purpose is work-life balance
  • •(c) — employees setting their own objectives and being evaluated by the degree of achievement is Management by Objectives (MBO)

Key rule: HR concepts are named by what they manage: diversity management the differences between people, work-life balance work versus private life, MBO self-set goals and their evaluation.
