The basic concept <strong>of</strong> managing diversity accepts that the<br />
workforce consists <strong>of</strong> a diverse population <strong>of</strong> people. The<br />
diversity consists <strong>of</strong> visible <strong>and</strong> non-visible differences which will<br />
include such factors as sex, age, background, race, disability,<br />
personality <strong>and</strong> workstyle. It is founded on the <strong>pr</strong>emise that<br />
harnessing these differences will create a <strong>pr</strong>oductive<br />
environment in which everybody feels valued, where their<br />
talents are being fully utilised <strong>and</strong> in which organisational goals<br />
are met. (K<strong>and</strong>ola <strong>and</strong> Fullerton, 1998)<br />
