Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

Experts in diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) agree that the long-term success and sustainability of a DE&I initiative depends on an organization's ability to create an environment in which everyone's voice is heard and every employee is treated fairly and with respect.

The relationship between diversity and inclusion is both circular and interdependent. While diversity without inclusion can create a toxic culture, inclusion without diversity runs the risk of creating a stagnant and unimaginative organization.

 Many organizations need to redefine what they mean by diversity. We tend to think of diversity in terms of demographics. While demographics are one part of diversity, diversity goes beyond demographics to include diverse opinions, thoughts, perspectives, experiences.

Focus more broadly on "psychographics." This means taking a closer look at individual beliefs, values, aspirations and other psychological criteria.

Diversify Your Recruitment Strategy

This includes the following steps: 

  • Create diverse interview panels. Identify the most effective recruiters for different markers of diversity.
  • Use structured and unstructured interviews with candidates to manage bias among recruitment team members.
  • Provide job candidates with the position's salary range and avoid asking about salary history.
  • Have candidates perform a sample work test so you can test the quality of the candidate's work versus subconsciously judging them based on their traits.
  • Write job descriptions that inspire and are balanced, inclusive and fair.
