Organizations are shifting their focus to inclusion and equity in order to advance beyond the state in which the workforce is demographically diverse, but opportunities remain unequal and voices go unheard. In an inclusive work environment, employees feel included and valued as their authentic selves, actively engaged in the organization and recognized without judgment for their contributions. Equity means that systemic barriers and unfair advantages in the organization are proactively addressed in order to create equal opportunities for all employees. A genuinely diverse organization demonstrates commitment, backed by investment, to build diversity in a comprehensive multitude of forms and foster an environment that enables everyone to thrive.
