  • Effectively Managing Employees to Get Results in a Diverse Workplace Such As American Express
    Journal of Business Studies Quarterly 2015, Volume 7, Number 1 ISSN 2152-1034 Effectively Managing Employees to Get Results in a Diverse Workplace such as American Express Valerie Alexander, Colleen Havercome, and Bahaudin G. Mujtaba Nova Southeastern University Abstract Diversity in the modern workplace is not just a reality, but it is also necessary for competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of diversity in an organization and to outline the overall benefits of effectively managing employees to get results in a diverse workplace at American Express Corporation. This paper will elaborate on managing diverse strategies, managerial theories, structures and strategies, the consequences of ignoring diversity, diversity training, and recommendations. Keywords: Workplace Diversity, Managing Diversity, Management Theories, Management Practices, Employees. Introduction In today’s global environment, the workplace is a diverse melting pot of different cultures where one must learn to accept, understand and celebrate the differences of other people values, age, religious beliefs, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, educational background, and physical abilities. The subject of diversity requires one to examine one’s own beliefs and values and to learn the skills of dealing with those whose beliefs and values which are different from our own. The subject of diversity can be overwhelming, emotional and powerful for most who deals with it directly or indirectly (Mujtaba, 2010). Diversity issues in the workplace are now considered crucial and are likely to increase due to cultural differences. Therefore, organizations need to focus on diversity and to look for ways in which to become more flexible and work together in an inclusive environment.
