Interaction
It is important for managers and all employees to work and interact with a diverse group of people. By working in these diverse groups, managers and employees are better able to understand other points of view resulting from different cultures, languages, or even gender. Employees are also able to gain an appreciation of how it feels and what is means to be different from others in the group or organization. Additionally, working in diverse groups provides an opportunity to raise awareness of issues related to those differences.
