				<p>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Due to globalization, the workplaces have become much more diversified and the issue of cultural diversity at the workplace poses several challenges and threats. In this context, this study aimed to identify key dimensions of employees&amp;amp;amp;rsquo; perceptions towards cultural diversity within business organizations. Within this scope, factors defining perception towards cultural diversity that are important in workplaces are considered and the answer to the question &amp;amp;amp;ldquo;how do employees&amp;amp;amp;rsquo; perceive cultural diversity?&amp;amp;amp;rdquo; is sought. The study yielded a four dimensional framework for employees&amp;amp;amp;rsquo; perception towards cultural diversity at the workplace. The study also revealed the impact of age was evident on the employees&amp;amp;amp;rsquo; perception towards cultural diversity at the workplace while the impact of gender was found to be statistically non-significant.&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</p>
