Today companies cannot ignore this important aspect of management. Lack of diversity and inclusive
culture can adversely impact on both customer and staff retention. And so most of the companies
across the globe welcome and support the value of diverse leadership for organizational performance
and success. It’s becoming increasingly clear that having a diverse team creates a better company. In
2019, hopefully, organizations will complete the circle by removing pay equity & discrimination,
building an inclusive environment and by using multiple practices and measures. Let's discuss them

No Pay Equity & Discrimination: “Equal pay for equal work” is a common rallying cry. But despite
that, the salary gap between men and women is reported from every part of the globe. According
to a study in Poland, women earn 91 cents to every dollar a man earns. In Israel and the United
States, it’s 81 cents. While in South Korea, it’s just 65 cents. Prejudice attitudes have acted as barriers
preventing women from achieving equality in the workplace. However, increasing awareness and
women’s financial independence are helping them overcome the barrier. In 2019 we can expect to
find a reflection of the change in the position of woman. The role of business leaders, social
commentators and the media is crucial to narrow down the gender gap. Drastic measures like
evaluating the performance, level of education, experience etc needs to be taken into consideration
while determining increment and promotions. Hopefully, the measures will help in attracting and
retaining employees thus adding diversity to the organization.

Improved Company Culture: Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace is always recommended. No
one wants to get left and judged wrongly. Feeling lonely and left behind is the worst feeling in the
professional arena. It is a nightmare for a new employee in the organization. However, the culture of
an inclusive environment within the organization not only helps in removing doubts and suspicions
but also lays the base of a solid relationship between the workforce of the organization. In 2019,
companies will focus to build this inclusive diversity

cannot be overstated. In 2019 we can expect companies embracing AI for recruitment and other
purposes. Use of chatbots will become common for various purposes. Companies will use chatbots
for the hiring process as it will help in speeding up the recruitment processes. Further, these chatbots
will also help in overcoming biases related to age, gender, race, and other factors. Use of chatbots to
interact with the prospective employee will completely transform the employment landscape. On
the work front, it can schedule meetings and provide customer support. As Smart chatbots rely on
artificial intelligence they can be utilized for improving communication with users and also for
streamlining the shopping process. These automated assistants will remain available 24/7 and cater
perfectly to address the queries of users. Easy to use chatbots are more engaging and provide better
ROI if used effectively.
