Abstract

It is a well-known fact that, to cultivate success in the present competitive business world, an organization must realize the importance of strategic diversified human resources policies and must understand the depth of the implementation necessity of those. This study is based on the purposes of illustrating how a diversified workplace affects the performances of the individual employees, how the work group’s performances are affected and how the total organizations become affected. Motivating the employees to achieve organizational goal is no more a package to be used for years and years. Due to workforce diversity it has become a challenge for the organizations that recruit diversified workforce to manage their human resources by making them loyal and growing the team sense among them. During the last decade and already in the late 90s diversity management has started to gain quite a robust position in the human resource strategies of international companies and organizations. This has occurred largely due to the globalization and international merges, as they have influenced the movement of workers around the globe. The role of diversity management will even grow in importance and significance in the future.However to accomplish this report based on the given perimeter a regression has been conducted with the help of different variables which influence the efficiency of company by making satisfy or dissatisfy them and which derives from the efficient HR policy and the practice of diversified management. A hypothesis from the theory and appropriate strategy to test a hypothesis to accept or reject that is developed from the deductive approach. To find the things out a questionnaire has been made and surveyed, and to make the computation easier, likert scale has been adopted. Furthermore, to find out the stability and the consistency of respondent’s response a Cronbach’s Alpha test has been conducted and found the stability and consistency because all the questions resulted above .7 of standard mark. Finally the result showed that there is a positive and influential relations between dependent and independent variables as well as all the hypothesis is accepted.Eventually it can be said that diversified management and efficient human resource policy should be employed by a company to attain highest level of efficiency. Tight integration of the three dimension (individual, group, and organization) of human resource management help to remain fully active and in producing maximum output from minimum input with variant workforce environment. An important factor is diversification in getting success in today’s business and changing management can help to support the main stream of the organization.
