Abstract: Abstract The definitions for diversity centre on the notion of difference and, within a UK context, Liff’s (1996) framework is the most influential. Liff’s typology presents four diversity policy approaches — dissolving differences, valuing differences, accommodating differences and utilising differences. Liff suggests that diversity management drives employee engagement across all groups, regardless of race/ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability and religion, and that engagement fosters productivity and innovation, which are crucial to sustainability.
