Results: Reviewing the correlation between diversity management and the governance process among faculty members solves the problems of communication and interaction among employees having diverse backgrounds. Practical, Research & Social Implications: The paper highlights the need for suitable management of diversity in community colleges which can lead to broader and more impelling implications for the policy makers and the colleges to adopt more welcoming and inclusive principles to cater to all needs and make diversity richer and a strong suit.  Originality/value: Sustainable human resource management leads to greater productivity among employees and sustainability for the organization. In the contemporary world where competition is vast, there is a need to maintain internal harmony and balance.
