Sexual Harassment and Diversity in the Workplace :: Workplace Diversity

IntroductionWorkforce diversity is a new terminal figure in business and industry. It is a term that is still uncommon in various areas of the world. Diversity can be considered by taking two different perspectives. Firstly, there are those fundamental person attributes that make everyone on the earth unique for example disability, personality among others. Secondly, there are those differences that exist based on group membership for example race, ethnicity, and heathen differences among others (Barak, 131). Diversity is being an associate of either an indiscernible or discernible groups that are believed to be mainstream in the society (Barak, 131).Pluralism, on the other hand, is the distribution of control among the many groups of the society (Carroll and Buchholtz, 8). In other words, pluralism means decentralization and diversification of authority from a group of few individuals from the top to the majority at the throne of the societal hierarchy.Workplace diversity brin gs about a variety of ethical issues in the places of work. For example, versed harassment due to cozy orientation, racism and ethnicity, gender issues among others. familiar harassment is characterized by annoying sexual advances and innuendos meant for others who think that such actions violate their right or interfere with their work. People take part in sexual harassment because of their sexual desires, or when, they want some sexual favors prompted by the prevailing situation. For example, employees may be harassed sexually, by their managers, so that they get promotion. informal harassment is one of the ethical issues that face managers and employees alike. If it is perceived in an organization, it can strain the relationship between the organization and the society (Carroll and Buchholtz, 4).My personal viewRegarding sexual harassment, I personally think that people need to have a to a greater extent mature way of dealing with issues of sexuality. We need to go about them more carefully and privately. Sexual advances can be made provided the two individuals consent on the same. These advances should not be pegged on certain expectations on favoritism in workplace but can be for the continuity of the genealogy or for the purposes of procreation. Various cultural practices have seen various forms of sexual relationships that exist within the society. As a Christian, I think is wrong and unfair to engage in irresponsible sexual behaviors like sexual harassment. We should bear in mind that it is against Christian teaching and against the ten commandments of God.
