Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are interconnected principles aimed at fostering fair treatment and full participation within organisations. Diversity refers to the presence of differences among people, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, and other attributes. Equity involves ensuring impartiality and fairness in processes and programs, striving to provide equal possible outcomes for every person. Inclusion is the practice of creating environments where all people feel a sense of belonging, ensuring they are comfortable and supported in being their authentic selves. Effective DEI practices enhance organisational performance, productivity and employee retention.
