We are now approaching the third decade of the 21st Century and it is becoming more and more apparent that the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the business world is accelerating. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is vital to the success of every business. Diversity, equity and inclusion are a company’s mission, strategies and practices to support a diverse and equitable workplace where individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life are able to participate and contribute comfortably and equally. Successful diversity and inclusion will improve and enhance work experiences which in turn improves customer or client experiences and profitability.
Affirmative action generally refers to legal mandates to make affirmative efforts to employ and promote women and minorities. Diversity is a voluntary action which covers the full spectrum of human differences, including but not limited to physical characteristics, life experiences, racial and ethnic, socioeconomic, geographic and academic/professional backgrounds. Inclusion is bringing together and harnessing diverse forces and resources in a way that is beneficial to the workplace and society. Inclusion creates an inclusive environment by recognizing, valuing and leveraging different perspectives and backgrounds to drive results.
