Diversity is the mix, and inclusion is making the mix work!
– Andre Tapia

Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.
– Verna Myers

 


With globalization, diversity – age, education, gender, orientation, race and ethnicity, faith, socio-economic profile, and personal background – becomes magnified. Acknowledging differences and the unique contribution of everyone can invigorate an organization and inspire unity. 

Evidence shows that when people feel valued, they function at full capacity and feel part of the organization’s mission. This culture shift creates higher performing organizations and healthier communities where motivation, collaboration, and morale soar.
