THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT IN RELATION WITH OTHER FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: Diversity in the workplace has become a topic of great interest nowadays due to its benefits to the organisation and the people working in it. This research aims to investigate the importance of diversity management in the organisation and the relationship between diversity management and the other functions of human resource management. The research took a qualitative approach through a comprehensive review of previous literature. Six main functions of human resource management were identified: recruitment and selection, performance assessment, development of human resources, penalties and rewards, perception of employees, and well-being of employees. In addition to that, the four main aspects of diversity were found to be diversity of age, gender, ethnicity and religion. Additionally, it was found that enhancing the diversity management of these aspects affected all the other identified human resource functions positively. For that purpose, it is recommended to promote diversity in the organisation through human resource management in an embedded way within the organisation's systems, which ensures the well-being of the employees and increases the performance in the organisation.
