It extends our understanding on diversity as it is still in narrow research attention from academics and suffers from lack of management considerations but becomes real big cluster needs to be targeted in an organizational context. As diverse workforce is also a global player in international labour market, we see a huge knowledge flows that can be revised and recognized from diverse experience, thus should be properly managed.
