Abstract
Workforce diversity is essential for the functioning of organizations, particularly in the context of public organizations. The South East region of Nigeria boasts a heterogeneous workforce, with individuals from many origins making valuable contributions to the public sector. Nevertheless, a significant issue arises with the employees' limited comprehension and recognition of workforce diversity. This could result in misunderstandings, prejudices, and disputes among employees, ultimately impairing both individual and organizational performance. This study employs a descriptive research methodology to investigate the influence of workforce diversity on employee responsiveness, 2000 respondents were purposively selected across South East, Nigeria. The study enquiries centre around the influence of diversity on prompt communication, problem-solving proficiency, adaptability to work circumstances, and collaboration among employees. The findings indicate that workforce with a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints contribute to a greater number of inventive solutions and imaginative concepts. Moreover, personnel with diverse origins provide varied cultural perspectives and sensitivities, which promote an inclusive atmosphere that supports open communication.
