Diversity & Inclusion

What is Workplace Diversity?

Workplace diversity is understanding, accepting, and valuing differences between people including those:

of different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations
with differences in education, personalities, skill sets, experiences, and knowledge bases

Interestingly, research by Deloitte finds that diversity is perceived differently by generations. Millennials view workplace diversity as the combining of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and they believe taking advantage of these differences is what leads to innovation.

Gen Xers and Boomers, on the other hand, view workplace diversity as equal and fair representation regardless of demographics without necessarily considering diversity’s relationship with business results.

Why Diversity?

1. The quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc.

2. The state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization
