Abstract
This chapter reviews literature for a discussion on future influences on workplace diversity management. With an emphasis on the role culture plays on the moral philosophy of individuals, it is taking the viewpoint that there is a distinction between workplace and business ethics. By placing the individual within the realm of non-traditional and traditional, the chapter intends to add to the discourse of future influences on EDI policy development and subsequent understanding. The term language is viewed not only from its linguistic function. It is also presented from its ability to influence power dynamics. When speaking of language, due to the geographical regions of the research papers and the dominant research areas, the performative language is English. This chapter applies a multidisciplinary lens as it presents the following dimensions as key determinants in the emerging workplace ethical field: diversity's constant state of discovery and redefinition, multiculturalism, interculturalism, and intersectionality.
