The population of study comprises of four hundred and forty -one (441) employees using Chi-square as Statistical tool of analysis. The findings revealed that demographics diversity is multi-faceted; the results show that the null hypotheses (HO) in hypothesis one and two were significantly rejected due to the reason that, the computed Chi-square value for both hypotheses are higher than the chi square table value at 5% level of significance (179.48 > 9.49 and 103.54 >9.49 respectively), with no exception of hypothesis three (experience qualification) that show positive relationship, because computed value of Chi-square(119.37) is higher than the table value of Chi-square(9.49). The conclusion establish is that, not only employee’s experiences qualification impact positively on performance, but, other examined variables in the study does establish nexus between demographics diversity management and employee’s performance.
