Inclusion at Work
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion although used together, are very different terms with different nuanced implications in the workplace environment. While Diversity represents the full spectrum of human demographics such as caste, race, religion, gender identities, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, culture and persons with physical or mental disability etc., Inclusion, means that every individual must feel valued, respected, accepted, and encouraged. Equity, further, refers to fair treatment for all and means working towards elimination of unfair biases, stereotypes or barriers that may limit an individual’s inclusion on any level.
We believe that individuals operating in equitable and inclusive spaces feel they belong and not only perform as their authentic self but also lead to growth of the workplace on several levels. To support organizations with their Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Goals, we have created Inclusion at Work (https://lgbtqia.inclusionatwork.live/).
