  3. ?Why is Diversity Important in the workplace • Diversity is important because it provides our society and culture with unique and inspirational perspectives. Diversity can create new ideas and changes that can be helpful to a society in the workplace. It can develop the organization's awareness to an increasingly unlike world of customers, improve relations with the surrounding community, increase the organization's ability to deal with the change, and expand the vision of the organization.
