Explanation:

Workplace diversity is an important current topic.  Diversity encourages productivity, creativity, innovation, and increased customer service.  Diversity ensures that our limited worldviews are expanded to include others who are not, and do not think, like us but are humans created in Love and Mercy, to work with us, to make the world a better place.  In today's workplace, a diverse culture looks beyond the familiar-cultural boundaries to embrace diverse peoples without minding their sex, race, sexual orientations, education, and other human attributes.
