Identity is a complex concept, which is also very much shaped by group-based characteristics. Marilyn Loden and Judy Rosener developed a famous framework, the āWheel of Diversityā, in the 1990s, to think about diversity in the workplace. Anita Rowe and Lee Gardenswartz adapted this framework and added more layers, a decade later. Rowe & Gardenswartzās āWheel of Diversityā is divided into four dimensions: personality, internal (e.g., gender, age/generation, ethnicity), external (e.g., educational background, work experience, income, marital status, parental status) and organizational (e.g., leadership role, work location, functional level).
