A Framework for Workplace Diversity

People bring their own knowledge and skills to an environment, and how they acquire it will differ from you.  Diverse backgrounds help bring a new way of thinking, which leads to innovation, creativity and higher levels of productivity.  Do a quick Google search and you will see the evidence is overwhelming.
