DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is an organizational framework aimed at promoting fair treatment, full participation, and support for people from diverse backgrounds, especially those historically underrepresented or discriminated against based on identity or disability
- Diversity refers to the presence of differences within a group or organization, such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, culture, and more
- Equity focuses on fairness and justice, ensuring that resources, opportunities, and treatment are allocated according to individuals' unique circumstances to achieve equal outcomes
- Inclusion means creating an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, valued, heard, and able to fully participate
DEI initiatives are implemented to remove barriers and correct discriminatory practices, fostering workplaces and communities where everyone has equitable access and opportunities to succeed
