Answer preview
Changes frequently occur in the workplace due to changing market conditions or changing technologies. The constant changes require that organizations have a versatile workforce that can thrive under different circumstances. One reason for the adaptable workforce is talent diversity. Fixed working narrows the opportunities of employees and hence shuts talents from the labor market. Organizations benefit from diverse skills that are necessary for driving the company forward. Another reason is resource efficiency. With a diverse workforce, companies can operate optimally even when some employees are absent. When projections predict a reduction in growth, the company can downsize employees, and the remaining will still function optimally. Another reason for the adaptable workforce is talent retention and employee engagement. In a diverse workforce, employees perform diverse tasks that improve their productivity and also promote employee engagement. Allowing employees to engage in different responsibilities enables them to develop broad skillsets, and the organization can retain these talents.1500 Words]
