What we mean: Diversity
Diversity means inviting, understanding, appreciating and using differences in the workplace to achieve better results and processes. Because of demographic, economic, legal, humanistic and political reasons, it is important to pay special attention to those differences that create disadvantages for some social groups such as gender, race, ethnicity, ability, sexuality and age. It is difficult to achieve diversity without developing new ways of doing things that attract, retain, and sustain those who are different. While a diverse organization that does not learn to be inclusive of all its stakeholders will not gain much from its diversity or be diverse for long, it is possible to have an inclusive environment for only a few. Diversity and inclusion go together.
