Introduction
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are not an option anymore, but a daily reality. Regardless of whether it involves gender, ethnicity, age, generations, sexual orientation, religion, personality, neurological wiring, functional background, educational background, tenure, or any other characteristic that shapes how we perceive and engage with one another, these differences matter. Equity and inclusion are essential to ensuring that diversity leads to meaningful participation and equal opportunities for all. But how do you create an inclusive and equitable workplace culture? And what is your role as a leader?
Despite all the attention to inclusion in the media, the numerous books and reports, and the countless guides and checklists that can be found on the internet, still many organizations struggle with becoming inclusive. Various studies suggest that around 70% of employees feel excluded, which hampers their motivation, wellbeing, and performance, and also harms performance at the team and organizational level.
