"While my most recent work environment is not very diverse, my time in university exposed me to people of all different backgrounds. Through classes, extracurriculars, and social events, I interacted and built relationships with people of different races, religions, languages, and belief systems. I think this is very important, and it's one of the main reasons I'm drawn to ADP as a company."

Demonstrate to the interviewer that you are more than capable of working with individuals of diverse backgrounds. You might point to a previous or current role that led you to be part of a diverse team. Or, you might have only been in relatively homogenous work environments. If that's the case, share that while highlighting the traits you hold that will contribute to your success in a diverse environment.

"I'm a very easy-going person and get along with almost everyone. I respect others and treat them with kindness. I often try to put myself in the other person's shoes to understand their perspective better. I've found that this helps bridge the gap sometimes in communication and understanding. I understand that people are diverse in their experiences, backgrounds, education, and personalities, and I accept people for who they are. I work to leverage their strengths, so they are successful, as well as the team and organization."

"I have worked with people from all backgrounds, and I anticipate that will continue in every place I work. Whenever I join a new team, I make a point to get to know each person and find ways we can connect. Last year, I had a new coworker who had English as a second language. To make him feel more comfortable, I took the time to learn a few key phrases in Spanish so that we could communicate even better. I think it is essential to adapt to other cultures."
