What are the types of diversity?
Cultural diversity.
Racial diversity.
Religious diversity.

Sexual orientation.

Here’s a list of the different types of diversity in the workplace:
Cultural diversity
Racial diversity
Religious diversity
Age diversity
Sex / Gender diversity
Sexual orientation
Disability
Here’s a breakdown of these forms of diversity:

Cultural diversity
This type of diversity is related to each person’s ethnicity and it’s usually the set of norms we get from the society we were raised in or our family’s values. Having different cultures in the workplace is more common in multinational companies.

Race diversity
Race has to do with a person’s grouping based on physical traits (despite the dominant scientific view that race is a social construct and not biologically defined). Examples of races are Caucasian, African, Latino and Asian.

Religious diversity
This type of diversity refers to the presence of multiple religions and spiritual beliefs (including lack thereof) in the workplace.

Age diversity
Age diversity means working with people of different ages and, most importantly, generations. For example, millennials, GenZers and GenXers can coexist in the same workplace.

Sex / Gender / Sexual orientation
Sex and gender can be used in the traditional sense of male and female employees. For example, you may sometimes hear the term “gender balance” used by companies trying to achieve a 50-50 balance between employees who identify as male and employees who identify as female. But, as gender is increasingly redefined, the term “gender diversity” may be more appropriate, since there are multiple variations in gender and sexual orientation.

Disability
There are various types of disabilities or chronic conditions included here, ranging from mental to physical. Companies often make reasonable accommodations to help people with disabilities integrate into the workplace, such as installing ramps for wheelchairs or providing mental health support. Some companies also adjust their hiring process to make sure it's inclusive.

Protected by law
The characteristics corresponding to these forms of diversity are protected by law in many countries: these “protected characteristics” are attributes that companies shouldn’t take into account when making employment decisions (especially adverse decisions, like terminating employees or rejecting job candidates). For example, you mustn’t decide to reject an applicant for a job simply because they’re Asian, female or a person with disabilities.

Conversely, it’s good practice to strive to have all these diversity categories in your workforce by eliminating biases and using affirmative action plans.

Additional types of diversity
Apart from protected characteristics, there are other important types of diversity, too, like:

Socioeconomic background / Class diversity
Education
Life experiences
Personality
General worldview / opinions
These are characteristics that are more intangible than protected characteristics, but it’s equally useful to take them into account inside the business context.
