Diversity Diversity in the workplace helps to brings about a numerous amount of great ideas, changes, and values for people with differences in opinions and cultures, by adding diverse cultures and races to an organization it can attract better workers of different cultures and races, offering more incite to the way different cultures operate, which can add value and stability to the company. Working for the City of Austin, having a diverse culture present helps with the communications skills involving contracts, projects and up and coming ideas, the ability to reach out of the box with ideas and services is a very relevant way to draw in potential customers and add to great customer service skills. It helps to generate new ideas and help an organization to grow vertical and horizontal, which is great if you are interested in reaching a global market. Having diversity brings about democratic principles that deal with ethics, value, and the equality of people. It is healthy to have diversity in the workplace. At the City of Austin the employees are offered a chance to use their bilingual skills as a way to better communicate with customers, this benefits always us as a company to cross different cultural barrier that most companies may not be capability of doing, thus placing us in a better position by using our diverse culture to assist in providing excellent customer service. Without diversity, we would not have many of the foods that one eats today, we observe different cultural events giving opportunities to our employees to be introduce to other cultures, we observe Cinco Demayo, Black History Month, and the Chinese New Year, just imagine the United States without hot dogs, hamburgers, Chinese food, and a host of other foods that were brought over to this country from other countries and cultures. Having diversity brings increased adaptability, broader service range, variety of view point, and more effective execution.
