Therefore, this work aims to analyze how to develop an organizational culture that embraces diversity in the Brazilian transport sector. The overall objective is to develop a proposal to increase diversity in leadership positions in the transport sector. Currently, when looking at the highest levels of the hierarchy in organizations, it is evident that diversity is still not very significant, but building this change goes through a long and consistent process of developing an organizational culture that embraces diversity and incorporates this attitude into the day. company day. The methodology used was a qualitative research with employees and managers of transport companies and benchmarking with organizations with a more advanced stage of development of the culture of diversity.
