With the growth of the global economy and rapid advancements in technology, people from different backgrounds are working more closely than ever.As a result, businesses and researchers are looking for ways to improve how organizations manage their employees. One important aspect of this is, ensuring that employees choose to stay in a company for the long term. The decision to stay in a company depends on several factors, and one key factor is workforce diversity. A diverse workforce can help improve teamwork, increase employees’ willingness to stay, and give companies a competitive edge. This study focuses on understanding how workforce diversity affects team performance and employees’ intention to stay in selected IT companies in Chennai. For this study, data was collected from 150 employees working in IT companies in Chennai. Different statistical methods, such as Independent Sample t-test, Correlation, and Multiple Regression, were used to analyze the relationship between workforce diversity, team performance, and employees’ intention to stay. The findings show that male employees have a more positive view of workforce diversity compared to female employees. It was also found that workforce diversity strongly improves team performance. Among different types of diversity, gender diversity had the most impact on employees’ intention to stay, while socio-behavioral diversity did not have a significant effect. Based on these results, IT companies should take steps to create a more diverse and inclusive work environment.This will help improve teamwork, encourage employees to stay longer, and contribute to the overall success of the company.
