[Jasz]

When you're working in a business, you're often required to work with others from diverse backgrounds. This can be difficult for some people, but it's important to remember that diversity is a strength. To deal with diversity in your
business, here are some tips:

1. Listen to others' perspectives
Diversity in your business means that there are people who've come from different backgrounds and experiences. You should acknowledge this and listen to what they have to say. Learn about their experiences and see how they can help you or your company.

2. Be open-minded
Diversity doesn't always mean that everyone has the same opinion or perspective, it just means that they have different ones! If someone has a different perspective than you do, try not to get angry or resentful; instead, use it as an opportunity to learn more about the world around you and how other people think about it.

3. Be Intentional
Be intentional about inclusion, if you're having an event or conference where speakers need to be invited (or even just guests), make sure that there's at least one person on each panel who represents an underrepresented group.

Diversity is an important topic of conversation in the business world. Many companies are working toward diversity, but some still have a long way to go. Here are some tips for how to deal with diversity in your company.
1) Make sure you have a diverse team When looking for new hires, make sure you're not only looking at people who look like you. You need to be looking at people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives because that's what will help you create a better product or service for your customers.

2) Be aware of unconscious bias There are many studies that show that we tend to favor people who look like us or have similar characteristics as us. We don't always realize this is happening, but it can have a huge impact on how we treat other people and even how they feel about themselves when they're working with us! To avoid this problem, try taking an unconscious bias test yourself so that you can become more aware of why you might be doing things unconsciously that may be harmful to others in your organization (or even just hurt their feelings).

Diversity works both ways, it could be a strength and at the same time it could also be a weakness if not used wisely. A business organization or setup is a place where you would come across various set of persons with different backgrounds and up bringing, which means you would also come across different ideologies. This could be a weakness, as everyone would want to show themselves and what they are capable of, if care is not taken, it could lead to chaos.
