Diversity & Inclusion FAQs
What are the benefits of diversity and inclusion in the workplace?
A focus on workplace diversity and inclusion will not only ensure a happier and more engaged workforce, wider perspectives, and better in-depth understanding of customers and their priorities, it will directly affect an organization’s bottom line.
What’s the difference between equity training and diversity training?
Equity training and diversity training often go hand in hand, but they are not exactly the same. Diversity training is all about understanding the positive nature of the differences between social groups, cultures and people, while equity training is about removing barriers to opportunity based on individuals’ characteristics.
How does diversity affect employee training and development?
From hiring, to training and development, your organization will have to consciously handle inclusion and promote equity, while showing its accountability and willingness to progress. Your employees will benefit from better culture, more equal chances for development, and training that takes into account the specific challenges they face as individuals, ultimately building a stronger foundation for your business.
How do you get the diversity data you need?
Improving workplace diversity is not just about words — it is hugely reliant on having the right type and volume of data, as well as being able to analyze it correctly to guide your strategies and efforts. In order to collect this data, you need to set a benchmark, work out what you want to measure, create reports, and be able to communicate to gather it.
