Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing a benefits package that can be customized to provide care for unmarried life partners and workers caring for aged parents shows flexibility in managing a diverse workforce, as it acknowledges and addresses the different needs and circumstances of employees. Sensitivity and fairness are also important in managing a diverse workforce, but they are not specifically demonstrated by the development of this benefits package. Performance management is a separate issue from managing diversity in the workplace.
