Workforce diversity is one of the emerging research fields and nowadays reveal a number of 
new techniques and trends that organizations are concentrating on. Similar to other 
organizations, the educational sector, i.e., institutions and university systems, now shows 
increasing age, gender, and ethnic diversity that influences employee engagement in research, 
teaching, and collaborative engagement through multiple aspects. Ineffective diversity 
management leads to faculty exclusion, which results in their disengagement from work. The 
inclusive environment, which values differences and enables collaboration and career 
development and provides transparent decision-making processes, improves employee 
engagement. The current study has evaluated the various studies published between 2001 and 
2021 in order to investigate how workforce diversity is perceived by globally diverse academic 
professionals in educational sectors. The review selected all studies from Scopus and SCI 
libraries after it completed the screening process. This review helps organizations choose the 
best work style for their needs because it shows how positive workforce diversity benefits its 
operations through reduced behavioral issues and better team cooperation. The review will 
study how different philosophical approaches to workforce diversity exist in different regions 
throughout the world.
