Diversity 201™ Equity and Inclusion in Action

Diversity is all about the unique individual, cultural and organizational characteristics that impact a company’s workforce, customers, and business practices. When people from different backgrounds come together, they bring interests, concerns and meanings that reflect their individual and group experiences. Diversity dynamics result from this blending of experiences and perspectives.

To maximize your diversity potential and strive towards inclusion and equity, you must: be aware of your own behavior and how it impacts others; encourage respect for others and yourselves; accept responsibility for your own behavior and make appropriate changes, and most importantly, be an ally and speak up against biases, stereotypes, and disrespectful behavior.
