Abstract
Workforce diversity is widely acknowledged as a vital element affecting organizational performance and creativity, especially in the realm of supply chain management. This review paper examines the influence of workforce diversity on supply chain innovation, emphasizing the role of several diversity aspects, including cultural, gender, and cognitive diversity, in enhancing creative problem-solving, decision-making, and process optimization within supply chains. Utilizing current literature, we examine the methods by which diversity promotes creativity, such as improved knowledge sharing, diverse views, and more efficient collaboration across functions and locations. The report also analyzes the difficulties businesses encounter in managing heterogeneous teams, including communication obstacles and integration issues, as well as the techniques that help alleviate these challenges. The results indicate that well-managed heterogeneous teams can substantially enhance supply chain flexibility, adaptation, and resilience, thus improving overall performance and creativity. The report finishes with advice for firms aiming to utilize labor diversity to achieve a competitive advantage in a complicated global supply chain landscape.
