Description

A positive organizational climate requires incorporating the notion of Ubuntu into workforce diversity management. Ubuntu in the banking business is essential for improved workforce diversity management and a better workplace climate for women. Employees look for a healthy and positive organizational climate in their workplace settings. Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa are ideal examples of Ubuntu; they lived a life of selflessness and humanity. In todays competitive world, the concept of Ubuntu is not widely accepted in banking. Banks are vying for new customers, market share, and business loans. Bank services include credit card processing, reconciliation and reporting, cheque collection; payroll; and deposit. They do not have time to think about Ubuntu. The banking sectors operations are tedious, causing tension among employees. Stress is lethal in COVID-19. Using various literature reviews, this study shows how stress can be lethal during COVID-19. Globally, the value system of Ubuntu and Gandhian ideologies are abandoned in favour of monetary gain, resulting in a cruel society. Violence against minority discrimination and black oppression still prevails in our society. Suppression and tyranny have always existed, but COVID-19 triples their impact. One solution is to bring forth Ubuntu. Even if it is too late, we can still revive our society. With Africas great diversity, fostering unity is the key to peace and growth. The best way to achieve peace and progress is to employ Ubuntus values. One continent, one philosophy could be a way out for Africa, but it would necessitate contributions from all African leaders. 2022. Journal of International Womens Studies.
