Diversity & Inclusion

Focus on Inclusion - Not just Diversity

In the most basic sense, according to SHRM resources, diversity is about counting people, while inclusion is about making people count.

Organizations are making people count by taking advantage of the mix of races, ethnicities, ages, gender identities, religions and life experiences in their workforce. Leaders are going out of their way to solicit employees’ opinions. Some are even insisting that workers contribute honestly during meetings—and guaranteeing that they won’t be punished for saying something that management might not want to hear.
