The
history of Diversity Management is very much linked to civil rights
movements in the USA decades ago. It is now more or less established
within successful US-American, British, and Scandinavian companies. Its
starting point and message is that diversity at work (e.g. age, gender,
ethnicity, religion) is not necessarily a problem but a possible
ressource.
Various
research studies show the positive impact of managing
diversity on employee satisfaction, productivity, creativity, customer
relations, work climate, and the company‘s image. No matter
if
enterprises choose Diversity Management due to ethical or economic
reasons, managing diversity will be of greater importance in future
because of demographic changes taking place.

Interreligious Management
Interreligious
Management is probably one of the most neglected fields within
Diversity Management, particularly outside the USA or the UK. Religion
and spirituality don’t necessarily have to inspire every
person
but can be sources of motivation at the workplace. Ford Motor Company
and Texas Instruments, both regularly on the list of the „100
Best Companies To Work For“ include this very aspect of their
employees in their human resources management.
The
UN-organisation Religions
for Peace
(RfP) aims to promote the interreligious dialogue worldwide. For

Disability Management
The
question whether the inclusion of people with special needs is seen as
a kind of Disability Management or Ability Management depends on the
approach one chooses. The Danish company Specialisterne, for instance,
focuses on each individual’s abilities, potential and skills.
By
considering these points, Specialisterne provides jobs to people on the
Autism Spectrum who are seen as specialist people offering
most valuable contributions to the job market and society. Apart from
that, the people affected are a „major minority“
with
estimations of between 1% and 10% of the world population being on the
spectrum.

Art &
Management
The
combination of arts and creativity with management seems to be a
paradox on both sides. To what extent creativity can be managed is a
rather controversial question. Several case studies show the negative
effects of unsuitable management styles leading to the loss of creative
employees. There are, however, also case studies that show the positive
impact of specific managerial styles on creatives.
