Many men and women from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds have taken uppositions in different occupations since demographic trends are also changing with time.However, this type of progress also comes with possibilities of social conflicts and women arethe ones who are most affected (Van and Heerden 34).Cultural diversity has an effect on thebearing of women as it has been found to impact hiring, promotion, and interaction of womenwith other members of a workforce. For instance, position applied for by women influence the decisions that employers makeduring the hiring process. Women who are considered beautiful and intend to fill positionsconsidered masculine often experience discrimination (Van and Heerden 36). These postsinclude those of directors, managers, engineers, and supervisors. Good-looking men who applyfor these jobs do not face any discrimination. Also, women often encounter communication barriers, which is the common cause ofconflict at workplaces. Women who work in socially diverse workplaces experiencemiscommunication and misunderstanding with fellow team members with different culturalcontexts (Whitehead).

Unfortunately, the consequences of a culturally diverse workforce are dire,particularly when a project requires collaboration from all team members. Furthermore, there are entrenched biases and attitudes with regards to women within theworkplace have led women to choose between being career people or ideal mothers.
