Answer 1

The text summarizes how the motivation can be deeply rooted in the organizations culture and what are the benefits that organizations can reap through the implementation of strategic human diversity.

To motivate employees, encourage autonomy. People are happier and more motivated if they feel they are in charge of their own destiny.

Further, treat them with respect. Allow honest criticism and complaints. Lastly as a manger, ensure a healthy work life balance.

To manage a diverse workplace, organizations need to ensure that they effectively communicate with employees. Policies, procedures, safety rules and other important information should be designed to overcome language and cultural barriers by translating materials and using pictures and symbols whenever applicable.
