Globalisation, the impending 4th Industrial Revolution and
migration in the 21st century have catapulted workplace diversity and inclusion
into the forefront as instrumental tools in the success of organisations. These
concepts are the guiding principles that embrace multiple perspectives, build
distinct corporate teams, develop leaders from different backgrounds and create
organisations that are the right fit for a variety of individuals. Managing
diversity in the South African workplace provides a scientific basis for
understanding diversity and inclusion at the macro-legislative,
meso-organisational and micro-individual levels.
Managing diversity in the South African workplace examines how diverse employees and groups can be accommodated within the South African workplace and the concomitant legislation that supports the inclusion of individuals from different backgrounds.
