Authors : Zane Meriem .

Abstract

Abstract: The global economy is becoming increasingly interconnected. As economic activities become more intertwined there is often an exchange of cultures between different countries and nationalities resulting in multiculturalism in organizations which has become a recurring issue in debates in business and organizational management circles. As organizations expand their reach across borders, the workforce becomes more diverse, comprising individuals from different cultural backgrounds, races, religions, and ethnicities. Embracing and effectively managing this multicultural workforce can bring numerous benefits to organizations. However, along with these benefits also come certain challenges. This article explores the concept of multiculturalism in organizations, it highlights the benefits it brings, as well as the challenges and drawbacks it may entail. It also discusses the necessary strategies to overcome these challenges and create an inclusive work environment.
