    The document discusses diversity at the workplace, specifically focusing on Lemon Tree Hotels' goal of increasing diversity hiring to 45% over the next decade. It notes both potential benefits like better profits and operational efficiencies from a more diverse workforce, as well as challenges to consider like ensuring inclusion and proper job mapping for a heterogeneous talent pool with varying disabilities. It concludes that while diversity can provide benefits, Lemon Tree should move cautiously and focus on sustainability, inclusion training, and accommodating their diverse talent base.

    Diversity at Workplace

    HRM 2020
    PEARL MALHOTRA
    What would you do?
    RE-ASSESS GOALS, SLOW & STEAD MIGHT BE
    GO AHEAD, AIM FOR THE GOLD! (45%)
    THE WAY OUT
    - Diversity cannot be an organic strategy – even with targets - Already above industry levels (Talent poll!!!) – there are no sources / no
    like 45% NGO / integration

    - Diversity leads to better profits (as per research) - More jobs that need to be accommodated
    - one decade of experience (sensitised organisation) – right - Will not overnight
    place for such diversity target
    - high level of attrition (?)/ No career planning (Inclusion is not full)
    - What about the morale - employees as a stakeholder? *****
    - Knowledge workers (hospitality industry – WFH?) - Sensitivity/ training? (other employees – currently 10-20%)

    - othering? LT – we want to - Job Mapping is a tedious , complex process (heterogenous group)

    - Brand image - Sustainable growth/ foundation


    - Empowering Pwd/ ODI - Accommodations (Transport to the workplace)
    - Inspire others in the hospitality - pain points - time/ training
    - Consequences of interacting in non-homophilic group - Inclusion (?)

    - Business decision ?
    Does Diversity pay?
    YES!!!!
    In the case of Lemon Tree
    - Operational efficiencies (e.g. If you calculate the average number of persons per room the figure
    ranges from 1.1 to 1.2 which is much lower compared to other hotels)
    - Higher employee satisfaction rates (Page 6 – Last para)
    - Better Profits (compared to industry standards, higher return on capital employed)
    - Contribution to society – Elkington’s triple bottomline of profits, people, planet (larger social
    impact)
    - No favours are being done – such policies are equalisers
    - Challenge the concept of “merit” & “ability”
    What should they be careful about?
    - Current situation of PwDs (2% of our population is considered PwD compared to 10-15 global
    average – indicating that most of our PwD are invisible)
    - Talent pool!! (No good sources of talent, highly heterogenous, low skilled, no talent
    development)
    - Uncertain growth rate (Year-on-year growth rate of PwD hired is erratic, indicating that they
    are not always able to hire despite the intention)
    - Multiple forms of disabilities (Job Mapping, accommodation etc.)
    - Operational contingencies if job mapping has not been done well
    - Assumptions of reverse discrimination (need for sensitivity and inclusion training)
