What is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?
What is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?
“Diversity” tells us who is in the room, “inclusion” means those in the room are heard, and “equity” means those in the room have the things they need to thrive. Thus, the term “DEI” = diversity, equity, inclusion. And to be clear, equity doesn’t mean equality.
