Hence, with more than 90 different nationalities represented from their employees, Qantas proudly claims that they are “an international organisation with a diverse workforce and a global customer base” (Qantas.com). Qantas recognizes it as part of their corporate social responsibility work that in their employment procedures hiring managers are encouraged to strengthen workplace diversity in addition to compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and anti-discrimination requirements (Qantas.com).

Why am I here? I am here because I am everywhere that I am invited. I am here because that is my job, that is what I have been doing for years and years. Does it mean I endorse any meeting I attend, or any Eritrean configuration that I see? Nope. Do I feel comfortable to talk about diversity in a very congregation that has no semblance of diversity? Not at all. If I did, I will betray the cause for which I struggle. When I see warts in our operations, I have to mention it. I do not feel comfortable as the only Muslim among the 21 assembled "speakers" or "panelists," among who are people I respect very much. And I have to emphasize, I object to tokenism even if I understand it is not for lack of good intentions.

- I’m a life-long-learner; I’m always learning how to make anything I do better: it could have been my experience in student teaching, my volunteering with the Park Service in Morristown, or my substitute teacher experience. I try to work closely with my colleagues of a daily basis to improve upon our skills and our interactions with others. I try to make sure that all visitors and students are respected and get the support and help that they need. For example, I have been informed many times that I make the experience of volunteering with the Park Service such a enjoyable experience that many people want to give back to the Park Service and volunteer themselves.
Diversity management is important to every company because no one wants a cookie cutter company and if you don’t you diversify that is what you will have.

I worked for a corporation that is very diverse and they believe in giving back to the employees and the community in Johns Creek, Georgia. This corporation has companies all over the world that believes in giving back to the community and making sure the employees are happy in their workplace. The company has many teams and group that support the organization. The people seemed eager to be a part of the team because they felt they were giving something back to the community.

Growing up as a child, I was always fearful of what other thought and considered of me. This fear brought forth self-esteem difficulties throughout my school as well as I entered college. Unfortunately, my fears restricted me from forming friendships, and even to the point of preventing me from developing as an employee. This fear that crippled me from within was the main source of what caused me to holdback in life rather than exposing to the world the true individual I actually was.
When the word diversity is mentioned, what comes to mind is the ‘obvious’ differences between people, such as race, culture, gender. The true and broader viewpoint would be - "diversity" is used broadly to refer to many demographic variables, including, but not limited to, race, religion, color, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, age, education, geographic origin, and skill characteristics.

America has acknowledged that its diversity has much contributed to its relentless success.
