workforce. But have you ever wondered what could be the challenges associated
with it. Think, If it is easy for organizations to handle a variety of people
working under same roof?
What do you think are the challenges associated with diverse workplace?Well,if I am asked that, I would take into consideration my personal experiences and those of many immigrants and come to a point that Diversity is a Challenge not only for the employers but equally for the employees.

CommitmentIn today's diverse workforce, generations of
employees simultaneously, consisting of elders returning to the workplace, Baby
Boomers, and members of Generations X and Y. The altering lifestyles, work
