This ground-breaking book focuses on issues of diversity in the context of organizational learning: those present in organizations among learners, and those present within and between organizations. It argues that in order for learning to be effective and efficient these diversities must be addressed and acknowledged in the learning design process.

They argue that there is no 'best way' of planning, organizing and implementing learning in relation to the workplace, and instead provide context-specific solutions to the dilemmas and issues that diversities present. Presenting a systematic analysis of diversities in organizations, this unique book challenges established human resource development practice and offers ideas for designing to accommodate and capitalize on diversity. With an international approach, grounded in theory and incorporating strong practical examples, this book is essential reading for all those studying, teaching or practicing human resource development, human resource management or professional education.
