It Professionals' Perception on Workforce Diversity and its Impact on Job Performance in Chennai City

Abstract

One of the most important and widespread issues that businesses are currently facing is adapting to people who are different. Workforce diversity is the term we use to characterize this issue.

Diversity in the workforce suggests that age, gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are being increasingly represented in businesses. A diverse workforce includes people who are elderly, physically disabled, women, Black Americans, Indians, Colored people, and gays and lesbians.

Managing all of this diversity is now a global concern. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how IT employees in Tamil Nadu, especially in Chennai, perceive workforce diversity and how it affects their ability to do their jobs. The study examined how employees evaluated their job performance with respect to two key factors: diversity in work experience and educational background.

The study of both primary and secondary data forms the basis of this research article. For data analysis, the research employed simple percentage analysis, mean variance, and ANOVA. Additionally, this survey has revealed a number of recommendations made by IT professionals to enhance workforce diversity.
