Successful Management of Diverse Workforce
Successful management in a diverse workplace can be challenging today. Supervisors must use their skills to deal effectively with some of these challenges. A good way to begin managing in a diverse workplace is to be aware of situations, problems, and issues as they arise. If you want to be a successful manager in a diverse workplace, there are many things to consider, for instance: good communication, strong leadership, and training and development. In this paper, each of these will be discussed and how it affects the environment in the workplace and the outcomes of successful management.
First, strong communication in the workplace is extremely important. If you have an employee or coworker that approaches you for advice, inspiration, or feedback, it is important that the employee has your complete attention. It is also imperative that communication is clear and you understand exactly what your employee needs or wants from you. ' 'What they really need to do is put some sort of implementation plan in place before the acquisition, ' ' said Pete Collins, director of the survey, so that everyone ' 'really knows what their role is going to be. ' ' (Flaherty, 2001). If it is impossible at that moment to give your employee your complete and undivided attention, then you should suggest that your employee come back at a time that is convenient for you to sit down and talk about any concerns. Other commitments such as meetings, conferences, or other distractions are understandable; however, it is crucial that your employee feel that his/her concern is important to you. Explaining that their time is valuable and needs complete and full attention will make the employee feel that you truly are interested in their comments or concerns. It is not worth insulting your employee by humoring or not listening to their concerns halfway. If your employee is insulted by lack of attention, he/she may feel resentful and may not work at their full potential. It is far better
