Diversity in the workplace is on the increase. Which is a good thing. According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development’s 2004 recruitment and retention survey, employing people from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and life experiences can make your company more competitive and help solve recruitment problems.
But we still have a long way to go before the working population truly reflects society. For many, the barriers to employment still remain. These barriers encompass:
Age (and here you can be too young as well as too old)
Gender
Faith
Sexual orientation
Ethnicity
Disability
Parental status

The fact is though, that a diverse workforce is essential to meet business challenges. And in a changing world, we recruit the staff who help organisations change with it.
