Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core principles upon which we can build fair and inclusive work environments within companies and organisations of all sizes and sectors.
Diversity recognises the importance of having teams made up of individuals with different identities, backgrounds, characteristics, and experiences. It often refers to aspects such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, family status, and socio-economic background.
Equity refers to ensuring fairness and impartiality in the policies, practices, and opportunities offered to employees, clients, and even suppliers of a company or organisation, particularly for those who belong to groups that remain underrepresented in broader society and the labour market.
Finally, Inclusion focuses on fostering a culture of respect where the diverse perspectives, ideas, and talents that each individual brings are valued and contribute equally to the final outcome (product, service, achievement) for which the team works.
At inc.lude, we believe that equity and inclusion-related goals and practices, within a company or organisation, are much more than just regulatory compliance or hooks for a corporate communication campaign. They are about cultivating a culture where everyone can bring their best selves to work, regardless of their background or identity. This is why our approach to all the services we provide and the projects we implement is based on data, research, and best practices, as well as a holistic and human-centred model of organisational thinking, which is tailored to the specific needs and goals of each client.
