Abstract: Human Resources Management as an organizational function play an important role in managing diversity through it proactive policy in reducing inequalities as well as to attract, develop, retain and motivate diverse workforces. Achieving Diversity alone is not sufficient to achieving organizational commitment by employees, inclusion is needed. This study is poised to highlight the role of diversity-inclusion interface towards the achievement of efficient organizational culture, increasing and improving the productivity of the workforce. While adopting a methodology of content analysis of previous studies, the present study shows that effective diversity and inclusion management through good HR practices and procedures leads to positive outcomes. Ineffective diversity and inclusion management in HR is most likely to result in conflict, demotivation, higher employee turnover and low organizational performance. The study recommends that workplace diversity and inclusion should be at the top of mind of employers these days and will only grow in importance as companies continue to invest in their diversity and inclusion programmes.
