Diversity, inclusion, and equity

We believe it’s essential to support diversity, equity and inclusion in working life. We gathered useful resources on the site to help you get inspired by various DEI themes, learn about service providers in the industry and perhaps find ideas or focus points to utilize in your own business.

What does "DEI" stand for and why should you care?

Diversity

Diversity: Diversity refers to the existence of variations of different characteristics in a group of people. These characteristics could be everything that makes us unique, such as our cognitive skills and personality traits, along with the things that shape our identity (e.g. race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, cultural background) (Source: workable)

Diversity management

Diversity Management is the practice of addressing and supporting multiple lifestyles and personal characteristics within a defined group. (Source: www.businessdictionary.com)

Equity

Equity is the process of ensuring that processes and programs are impartial, fair and provide equal possible outcomes for every individual. (Source: Built in)

Inclusion

Inclusion means that everyone is treated fairly and respectfully, has fair access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization's success. In inclusive environments, everyone, regardless of background, feels like their voice is heard and their contributions are valued. (Source: Inklusiiv)
