Defining & activating Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not a single effort, we get into a habit of putting these all together, but in fact these three “words” represent different areas of work that are related and connected. Every organization should invest into each of these and craft a strategy to support progress and action.

This issue of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion startup digest, take the time to understand the difference between these three unique initiatives, how they work together and you can begin to implement in your organization.

“Diversity in the workplace refers to an organization that intentionally employs a workforce comprised of individuals of varying gender, religion, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, and other attributes.” 

“Does every employee in your organization have a level playing field? This is what the concept of workplace equity tries to address. ”

“Now, more than ever, any company that wants to realize the full potential of its employees should be taking action to create safe and inclusive workplaces where women of color can achieve their full potential.”
