Question

Making fewer assumptions would be the best advice to improve workforce diversity. It is important to recognize and appreciate the differences between employees, and assumptions can lead to stereotypes and discrimination. By making fewer assumptions, the company can create a more inclusive and respectful work environment. The other options of hiring a more homogenous work group, requiring stereotypical jargon and conforming to a standard company culture would not encourage diversity and could potentially lead to further discrimination. Providing diversity training and building on similarities are also good recommendations for improving workforce diversity.
