In a bid to address the daunting challenge, multinational organizations must build a culturally sensitive global base by adjusting to diversity through the development of a new corporate culture that will work naturally for all. This culture has not yet been fully developed, although companies such as, Nestle, Unilever, McDonalds etc are making the effort. This review revisits the evolution of human resource management in multinational firms especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and the progress towards the building up of a diversified workforce. It explores the phases of diversity in these multinational organizations and measures adopted to overcome these challenges. The review ends with an overview of the prospects of diversity management for the future growth of these multinational.
