Positive and prospering organizational culture necessitates diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the workplace. These concepts transcend legal compliance requirements, focusing on the creation of environments where individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives feel valued and included. These are demographic diversity, cognitive diversity, global diversity, representation, equity & inclusion, creating welcoming culture. Foster inclusive workplace practices include open communication, collaboration, training opportunities for all staff members, flexible policies, commitment of leadership, feedback mechanisms that work effectively in the organization like addressing unconscious biases among employees in a company; employee resource groups and accountability.
Some of the benefits that accrue from D&I are increased creativity, improved decision-making process, enhanced employee engagement levels,a broader pool of talents,better customer understanding services,cultural competency towards customers’ needs as well as legal compliance,a reduced turnover rate compared to the previous years while absenteeism is limited,and better understanding of an organization’s mission and values.
