    INTRODUCTION
    To come up with a workplace diversity definition, we have to think about all the different characteristics that
    employees (could) have. First, we have the protected characteristics, such as race, age, gender, and sexual
    orientation. And secondly, we have all the different:

    ∙ Experiences

    ∙ Talents

    ∙ Skills

    ∙ Opinions

    ∙ Personalities

    These differences, for example employees’ talents, are less obvious and require the organization’s effort and
    proactiveness to shine.

     Identification of the issue

    Discrimination against Gender identity, or gender expression.

     Solution for the problem

    As long as the employee performances are not affected, there no need for the company to take him out, south
    Africa is a free country people have freedom to express themselves how they feel it, when it come to the image
    of the company, I will suggest to the employee during his time of crossdressing he shouldn’t wear or have
    something that could link him to the company, since his doing it far from the the place of work it should be like
    that.

    I will suggest make him aware of the situation, without forbidden him is activities.

    To make boundaries about professional life and personal life. as long as that the line is respected, nothing from
    is closet life is revealed to the public everyone will be peaceful.
    CONCLUSION
    Diverse workforce is a reflection of a changing world and
    marketplace. Diverse work teams bring high value to
    organizations. Respecting individual differences will benefit the
    workplace by creating a competitive edge and increasing work
    productivity. Diversity management benefits associates by
    creating a fair and safe environment where everyone has
    access to opportunities and challenges. Management tools in a
    diverse workforce should be used to educate everyone about
    diversity and its issues, including laws and regulations. Most
    workplaces are made up of diverse cultures, so organizations
    need to learn how to adapt to be successful.
