Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion.

The aim of inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of their diverse or protected characteristics, such as race, gender, disability, age, and socio-economic background.

Organisations may have Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to help accomplish this.

Diversity is the presence of individuals who have diverse or protected characteristics, whereas inclusion is the process of identifying and reducing barriers that these individuals may face, with the aim of giving equal access and opportunity to everyone.

Inclusion celebrates differences and draws on them to improve company culture, working to counter intolerant or discriminatory attitudes and practices.
