Diversity Creates a Successful Business Persuasive paper, Final draft Joseph Hynson Rasmussen University G124/ENC1101 Section 05 English composition Professor Kathryn Pepoy September 4 th , 2023

Diversity Creates a Successful Business Diversity Creates a Successful Business Diversity will make a business more successful when it is applied in the workplace by causing mutual respect and fairness within the workforce, creates numerous perspectives and talent for better ideas to come to the table, and will have a broad range of cultural languages which can help expand the business into cultures. Mutual respect and fairness in the workplace, is a part of diversity, and must cross boundaries of sex, age, and culture to guarantee each employee feels successful and returns to benefit the company growth. If just one of these categories of inclusion is left out then that person, culture group, or age range will feel neglected and underappreciated as a benefit to the company. Mutual respect will also help with less lawsuits if each person feels like their sex, culture and age is represented fairly. All of us have been the new person at a workplace at one point or another and felt completely out of place and uncomfortable until someone took us under their wing and showed us the ropes. Companies are now providing programs to help implement mutual respect across sex, age, and culture by forming mentor program and training to help employees. In the magazine article, Tapping the Power of Diversity, Harris writes “This not your everyday internship program. Participants are immersed in multiple experience with personalized plans that showcase a variety of rewarding assignments”. (Harris, Par.) with

Diversity Creates a Successful Business the creation of internship programs, where each intern is partnered with an older employee, it creates a partnership of sorts where the more experienced employe can teach the younger employee. The program also incorporates workshops that emphasize finding your own strength, which creates a sense of uniqueness to each employee and makes them feel included in the success of the business. Within the HR department, measurement data confirm that goal, six months after program completion, all operational teams have shown improvement in their pre-assessment scores regarding psychological safety, belonging, and feeling like what they do matters. (Harris, tapping the Power of Diversity). Employees are just as diverse as the company itself and a company will need new ideas to stay a breadth of the changing commence to stay competitive. Miroslava stated in the article, concept of corporate culture in the context of age diversity, “the strategic goal of business is to secure a long-term competitive advantage, to differentiate themselves from other businesses and to succeed in the market”. (Miroslava, pg56) There is also the idea that management needs to be responsible for social programs, harnessing the talents of every employee, and building a bridge between age gaps. The graphs and charts in Miroslava’s article help prove through statistical analysis that good management of a diverse company helps a company have a strong employee return and the company will stay competitive. Even with the proof of graphs and charts, we still logically know that each of us is unique and are diverse in our gifts and abilities in a workplace setting. When an employee, especially a manager, makes you feel unique and a part of the company’s offerings you automatically work harder and search for areas that you can contribute.

Diversity Creates a Successful Business Language is also just as diverse in a workplace as it is across the globe, especially in America, where we are the melting pot. Customers using a business do not just speak English. Studies have been shown that when you limit a business or employee to only speaking English it makes the customer and employee feel ostracized. In the article by Rodriques, having employees that speak the languages of the local neighborhood can be a key element in creating a hospitable environment. When there is a hospitable environment customers and employees want to return. Common and uncommon language practices that seek engagement with others in the workplace but that are also essential to sustaining a pre- existing community outside the workplace. If you go to get a bite to eat at a Mexican restaurant you want to hear the common cultural language to feel like the business is authentic and unique. In the article by Petrini, the author writes that customers are just diverse as the workers, and you wouldn’t want to alienate potential workers. When a business doesn’t offer what other cultures or languages, like the hearing impaired, desire it can come across as an insult and they will take business elsewhere. The next time you walk into a business think about how it is offering diversity to you and to its employees. Diversity is all around us and helps make us unique choices day to day and not live in a bland boring culture. Each business is made unique and successful when diversity and inclusion is emphasized. Diversity helps employees and customers decide where to shop and where to work. Diversity is the key to successful businesses and workplace environments when it offers to bring mutual respect to each individual employee, when perspectives and talents are diverse and bring uniqueness to table, and when languages are diverse enough to expand the businesses into other cultures.
