Abstract:	Workforce diversity is considered to be a major challenge that has easily turned into a losing situation for all involved leading to the discouragement of employees consequently affecting employee performance in many organizations. Many people believe that workforce diversity is essential for employee performance. In this study, workforce diversity is defined as a similarities and differences among employees in terms of age, cultural background, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. These similarities and differences formed five different independent variables (i.e. age group, gender, cultural diversity, educational background and work experience) of this study which was considered to the most critical variables in the context of Nepal. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of workforce diversity on employee performance of Nepal. Convenient sampling technique was used to get respondents within the Telecom companies of Nepal. 200 employees i.e. 100 employees each from two major Telecom companies (NTC and NCELL) were targeted for data collection. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires that included varieties of questions such as single response questions and Likert scale questions. Data collected through the questionnaire was analyzed statistically by using the Software Package for Social Science (SPSS). It was then summarized using tables. The summarized responses were used for examining the effect of each variable on employee performance. Chi-square analysis showed all the hypotheses were a good fit. Correlation Coefficient analysis showed a significant level of association between all other variables and employee performance except age group. Whereas, the multivariate regression analysis showed age and cultural diversity was insignificant. However, it became clear from the data analysis that workforce diversity is a well-accepted phenomenon at the Telecom companies of Nepal. For this study, various literatures were examined and reviewed to identify and investigate the relationship between workforce diversity and employee performance in which a gap existed since none of these studies was conducted in Telecom companies of Nepal.
