As industries and organizations continue to progress in the universal sphere, the concept of workforce diversity comes into play. Workforce diversity has been demonstrated to be the basis of employee performance. This basis drives management to understand and welcome the model of workplace diversity, its significance, and its challenges. The study sought to examine workforce diversity and its effects on employee performance in a sector that is made up of health workers. Age, gender, ethnicity, and educational qualification of employees were the antecedent of diversity which was critical for the study. The investigation was done by distributing 320 questionnaires as 293 were valid and usable questionnaires for the data analysis. The study findings show that there is a significant impact on performance when a diverse workforce is working in an institution. It was recommended that the management of the various health facilities should create an atmosphere that accommodates people from diverse backgrounds in other to enhance their work performance which would go a long way to improving organizations’ performance.
