Creating a positive work environment within the framework of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) or DEIB (Belonging) requires a broad approach that addresses different aspects of organizational culture, policies and practices.  It starts with creating a sense of belonging. 

Perspectives and tools for building diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) continue to evolve in organizations, as more people are part of the conversations that truly encourage employee engagement, a positive work environment and a sense of belonging.

Organizations continue to recognize the benefits of a diverse team: broader talent pools, deeper dialogue, more holistic views of the customer perspective, and more complete decision-making.  To better define and implement diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, organizations are conducting assessments, bringing in training and implementing changes on both systemic and personal levels.

Organizations around the country are introducing formal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to harness the power of difference and mutual respect in organizations. However, making these DEI programs real comes down to real people communicating and working with each other every day: with peers, supervisors, teams, customers and colleagues.

There are many diversity-focused weeks and months throughout the year – many focusing on the uniqueness of a specific group or characteristic, or a different source of diversity.  In October, we celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month.
