Globalisation and the Management of Diversity: The Response of a Dubai-Based Corporation

Preface

Globalisation has transformed the nature of the workplace as we know it. Diversity is no longer limited to age, gender or even race but has expanded to include nationalities, ethnic origins and religious affiliations. Within the national and domestic context, the workforce is international and, there is hardly large organisation, possibly even a small-to-medium sized one, which can claim otherwise. Workforce heterogeneity, however, can be a positive asset if the organisation in question implements a diversity management paradigm.

Most Western organisations, whether European or North American, have diversity management programmes in place and train...

This study focused on participation and the success of minority employees in the communications technology industry, managerial involvement in diversity programs and the retention of minority employees, and White male participation in diversity programs.

Larger organizations lack the full range of middle and executive management participation in diversity programs. Managerial best practices include good communication of new regulations, rules, policies, and programs. however, managers need to be more involved and be inclusive in the diversified work environment. Buy-in and support from executive and senior management are critical to the success of diversity development, but middle managers and supervisory level are equally critical. they are the models of management, leadership behavior, and play an essential role in changing the ideas and perspectives of the people reporting to them.

Hence it can be concluded that this study attempted to contribute to research on diversity programs in organizations in the UAE. Researchers often face difficulties studying diversity programs in organizations and diversity management. Because of the limitation of data and the very limited past research, this study makes progress to contribute to extending theory and practice.

The study found a moderate relationship between diversity programs and the success of minorities. However, no statistically significant correlation was found between managerial involvement and the retention of minority employees.
