Research background: The increased integration of global workforce from different countries of the multicultural world is a phenomenon which is lately observable in the labour market, i.e. people with different beliefs and backgrounds are interacting due to the world’s rapid globalization. However, maintaining a positive workplace in companies has been one of the essentialities that they work on in order to build employer’s good brand. Many articles had been written on diversity management, but there were rare researches done on global workforce diversity management. Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to review recent literatures, analyse publications in the field of diversity management and to provide an insight on the challenges facing human resources management on a global basis, especially in the Czech Republic. Methods: This article provides a comprehensive review of quantitative, qualitative and theoretical studies published in journals and distinguishes articles that fall within the search criteria. Findings & Value added: Human resources management in most companies put an effort on to increase diversity and to endorse inclusion. The target groups for diversity efforts differ according to the geographical region. Whilst most countries, particularly in Europe and North America have a main insistence on retaining and promoting gender equality. These findings won’t only benefit academicians but also managers and potential researchers, because they will be able to acknowledge the various aspects about global workforce diversity management.
