Abstract: This study explores the impact of workforce diversity on employee performance in Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in Northern India. Employing a descriptive-causal research design and multistage sampling method, data were collected from 400 faculty members through structured questionnaires. Four key dimensions of workforce diversity—Receptivity to Diversity, Equal Representation, Hiring and Retaining Diverse Employees, and Promotion of Gender Diversity—were examined using multiple regression analysis. The results reveal that all four diversity practices significantly and positively influence employee performance. The model accounts for 23.6% of the variance in employee performance, with Equal Representation showing the strongest effect. These findings underscore the importance of inclusive diversity strategies in enhancing organizational outcomes in academic settings

Keywords: Workforce Diversity, Employee Performance, Receptivity to Diversity, Equal Representation, Gender Diversity etc.
