Organizations are increasingly putting more focus on connecting the diversity of the workforce with the key objectives of the organization. This intensification has proved to be a success as it contributes to the competitive advantage in comparison with rival organizations. Accountability has shown to be a critical element in advancing initiatives within the establishment of the objective of promoting workforce diversity (Kim 69). Through responsibility, the relevant leaders are under obligation for enhancing workforce diversity because it is possible to connect the elements of productivity assessment with the compensation to the successful application and the continuation of the initiatives. Accountability is critical to ensuring that every member of the workforce plays a part in the process of diversification within the organization.
