Diversity versus inclusion

“Diversity is going to a party; Inclusion is being a member of the party-planning committee.”

Three things about inclusion.

  1. Inclusion is ensuring that people feel a sense of belonging.
  2. Inclusion is about involving people in discussions, opportunities and decision-making and valuing their input.
  3. In the workplace, inclusion can be aided by providing policies, processes, environments and cultures that promote participation for people from diverse backgrounds, including people with disability.
