Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option E (diversity in teams is beneficial because it provides for a larger pool of knowledge from which a team can draw as it carries out its work).

Explanation:

Diversity in an organization/team is broad in its definition as it describes a group of individuals who are from different backgrounds, races, ages, education working for a common goal.

When we talk about surface-level diversity, then we are pointing at those visible differences such as sex, age. While Deep-level diversity is those characters that are not visible such as beliefs, likes, dislikes, temperament.

Diversity in teams is beneficial because team members would have diverse backgrounds, experiences, problem-solving capacities, exposures, bringing diverse solutions to the team which leads to good team performance, and a quick, better solution to problems.
