Equity and Inclusion: Why They Matter Diversity and inclusion aren’t just about moral and social values. They’re much more and are integral to any business, big or small. Exceptional talent comes from everywhere, and diversity brings about both economic and business advantages. Inclusion and What It Entails Many think of diversity and inclusivity as synonymous, but this could not be further from the truth. Someone once said that diversity is a given, but inclusion is a choice. I agree with this wholeheartedly. While diversity is more about representation, inclusion is about the environment. This involves all employees feeling a sense of belonging and being comfortable sharing their points of view and insights. In order to make an organization inclusive, all must be afforded the same opportunities. Equity Within the Workplace Equity means that everyone has equal access. Unlike diversity and inclusion, equity is about fairness and having the same opportunities despite the position one holds. All three are important to foster an open and accepting work culture and need to be taken care of simultaneously.
