Employee diversity is increasingly becoming an important strategy for organisational effectiveness in the era of globalization. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions, by their very nature, appeal to lifelong learners in various global markets. A workforce representing various nationalities, cultures, religious affiliations, values and beliefs is increasingly being recognized as a critical strategic tool for global competitiveness. The purpose of this study, therefore, seeks to assess employee diversity at the Zimbabwe Open University. This research used a descriptive survey design. Structured interviews were carried out with the Human Resources personnel and other ZOU employees. The study concluded that the levels of diversity at ZOU are still very minimal in certain aspects such as race, religion, ethnicity and nationality but the University has complied with minimum employee diversity requirements of providing equal employment opportunities to its entire staff. The study recommends that the University should increase racial diversity among its staff in order to appeal to students from other races and nationalities. In this way, the University will be better placed to compete at global level.
