1. In a diverse work environment, one must realise that people are different and therefore bring different things to the table. It is important therefore to act in such a way that the difference in people is accepted. This will lead to a more productive environment due to the exchange of perspectives that would not have previously been possible in a non-diverse environment.

2. Seeking training is another way to go. One might not know how to relate to people different from them and even if they do, it is still recommended to seek training. This way one can learn how to.properly relate with coworkers from different backgrounds thereby fostering unity and by extension Organizational Effectiveness.
