Managing workplace diversity - empirical evidence from Czech Republic

Original language description

The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight on diversity management in Czech organizational setting. The paper presents a research study aimed at identifying the key issues of diversity dimensions in Czech organizations and exploring whether diversity training influences approaches of managers to diversified workforce and to the practical implementation of workplace diversity. The data were collected by a questionnaire survey conducted among Czech managers. The findings of the study indicate thatgender diversity receives more attention than other dimensions of diversity. Furthermore, we find that managers with diversity training treat employees more equally (regardless their age, gender and disability) and adopt more proactive approach to diversity practices in workplaces. The findings of the research have both theoretical and practical implications for the implementation of diversity management.
