Our world is changing fast and along with it, our workforce. As HR professionals, you are dealing with more and more diverse groups of people of varying age, ethnicity, motivation, lifestyles and personal objectives. To complicate things, never at any time has so much diversity been seen in a single workforce. How does one make decisions that will appease the masses?
