Most work places today are becoming increasingly diverse as people of different genders, races, cultures, ethnic origins, and life styles find themselves working together. As a result, the workplace is evolving progressively multicultural. Some associations are just now coming across the effects of a varied workforce, while other ones are trying to overcome the challenges created by diversity. However, no matter where an organization is in its development, the challenge is to ensure the workforce's diversity is a source of strength, not one of conflict. (Beauchamp, et. al 2009)
