Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion?
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), alongside newer thinking around ‘Belonging’ are four distinct but related concepts:
- Diversity: Representation of different groups within your organization. It includes all the ways we differ race, gender, age, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity.
- Equity: Fair treatment of all employees, regardless of their background. It’s about removing barriers and ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities and has a fair chance to succeed.
- Inclusion: Active engagement of individuals with diverse backgrounds. Employees are more likely to be engaged and motivated when they feel included.
- Belonging: A sense of purpose and meaning in the workplace. A person’s sense of belonging is shaped by their day-to-day experiences and if positive, enable them to feel psychologically safe and bring their full, unique self to work.
How do you Enable Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (and Belonging) in the Workplace?
