Access Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, recognizes the importance of workplace diversity in driving innovation and improving performance.

By examining this relationship, the study aims to highlight the benefits and challenges of workplace diversity and provide recommendations for improving team performance in diverse work environments.
