Determining the effectiveness of an integrated diverse workforce on the satisfaction and retention of employees

Abstract

I have worked on “DETERMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN INTEGRATED DIVERSE WORKFORCE ON THE SATISFACTION AND RETENTION OF EMPLOYEES” for my thesis of MBA. The sample size of my questionnaire was 50 I had chosen 5 different organizations and in all I chose 25 employees and 25 employers from these 5 organizations. The distributed questionnaires results were tallied and interpreted through pie charts as well as those questions which had likert scales were interpreted through weighted mean and its ranking scale. After which it has been concluded that indeed integration of diverse workforce in terms of gender and cultural background has a positive effect and helps in the retention and motivation of the employees. Even though this concept has not been widely observed in the Pakistani firms but still the employees and some employers seem aware of the importance of integrating diversity at workplace. From the findings of my research the managers and supervisors have been advised to make sure that the employees who belong to different cultures and are women should be made welcome in the office. Managers should make sure that women applicants and applicants from different cultural backgrounds are invited to apply for the job. And also that when a new employee is hired, the management and supervisors should not only explain job responsibilities and expectations clearly, but orient the person to the department culture and unwritten rules as well.
