Do you also think that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) have become buzzwords nowadays, but when you ask what it really means, you cannot answer? To understand what it truly means, I reached out to my colleague and DEI Consultant, Karen Miller, for her insights.
Karen, who works at DiVerse Consulting, shed light on the complex world of DEI by highlighting that diversity encompasses a wide range of unique attributes. Each individual brings distinct skills, backgrounds, histories, and perspectives to the workplace, and companies must recognise and appreciate these diversities for long-term success. Equally crucial is the concept of equity, where workplaces provide tailored support, enabling every individual to thrive within the unique context of their 45-year career journey. This framework, along with fostering psychological safety through inclusion, serves as the foundation of innovation and success in today’s business world.
In this short video, Karen answers what DEI means in organisations and how you, as an employee, can spotlight if your company is walking the talk on DEI. Check it out!
