ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with waves of immigrants into the US over a long period of time who brought with them their cultures and languages, and how, over a period of time, it created a diverse workplace. The US workforce is becoming more diverse is an indication of the importance of diversity to the economy and society. The Multiculturalism Act is a policy of inclusion that recognises the potential of all Canadians, and encourages participation in Canada's social, cultural, economic and political life. Australian workplace statistics have also revealed the multicultural features of the national demographics, which are naturally reflected in the Australian workforce. The changing demographic of the UK workforce includes its age, education background and ethnicity, which indicates that employers have to provide workplaces that truly reflect equality for all today and tomorrow, and that now is the time to act.
