Diversity and Inclusion: Key to Improve Productivity - A Case Study on WIPRO

Diversity is an essential consideration which all employees have to deal with throughout their
careers at one stage today. Diversity of the workforce means differences and similarities
between people working in an organization. This diversity can be in terms of age, ethnicity,
types of cognition, employment, appearance, education, ethnic groups, family background,
social status, community, and more. Therefore, people who work in an organization with
different demographic backgrounds make a diverse workforce. Diversity and inclusion are the
mission, policies, and procedures of an organization to facilitate a diverse workforce and
leverage the benefits of diversity to achieve a competitive business advantage. The notion of
diversity and inclusion of the workforce gained tremendous popularity with globalization and
the need for companies to expand their business internationally to reach consumers worldwide.
A diverse workforce is reflecting a changing world and market place. A diverse work
environment is the utmost priority at Wipro. Diversity and inclusion play a vital role in
organizational sustainability. This study focuses on the analysis of diversity and inclusion
practices followed by Wipro to improve productivity.
