Workforce Diversity has also been introduced as another major changing trend in HRM, which means differences and similarities among employees in terms of age, ancestry, physical qualities and abilities, sexual origination, ethnicity, gender, educational background, marital status, income, geographic location, religious beliefs and work experience.
