| Abstract: | The main objective of this thesis was to analyze the diversity management in a chosen company from the management's perspective. Also the main goals, values and activities of this system were analyzed. The chosen company is an IT global company that has subsidiaries all around the globe; these subsidiaries each have their own small, local adaptation of diversity management. After the diversity management was analyzed from the company's perspective, the other objective was to analyze the perception of its employees. These two outputs were compared to each other afterwards and key findings were discussed. Quantitative methods, which were partially supported by own experience in the company, as well as informal interviews with its employees, were used for the research. A quantitative research with 93 respondents proved that the diversity strategy in the company is developed, however still some room for improvement has. In the end of the thesis recommendations, based on a SWOT analysis were carried out. |

| Abstract: | Hlavným cieľom diplomovej práce je analýza manažmentu diverzity (riadenia rozmanitosti) vybranej spoločnosti z pohľadu jej vedenia. Popísané sú hlavné ciele, hodnoty a aktivity tohoto manažérskeho prístupu. Vybranou spoločnosťou je nadnárodná IT spoločnosť, ktorá má pobočky po celom svete. Manažment diverzity je aplikovaný globálne a následné prispôsobený lokálnym zdrojom každej jednotky organizácie. Po tom, čo bol prístup analyzovaný z pohľadu vedenia, sa výskum sústredil na vnímanie rozmanitosti z pohľadu zamestnancov spoločnosti. Tieto dva prístupy boli následne porovnané, rozanalyzované a hlavné zistenia boli diskutované. Na výskum boli použité kvantitatívne metódy, ktoré boli obohatené o vlastné skúsenosti v spoločnosti, ako aj o zistenia, získané neformálnymi rozhovormi so zamestnancami. Kvantitatívny výskum v podobe dotazníka dokázal, že manažment diverzity v skúmanej spoločnosti je na vysokej úrovni, aj keď boli dokázané miesta pre jeho vylepšenie. Analýze výsledkov nasledovala SWOT analýza, z ktorej boli odvodené odporúčania. |
