The Significant Difference between Diversity and Inclusion?
In contemporary corporate communications, diversity and inclusion are often used interchangeably. However, there are some aspects that set them apart. For starters, diversity is all about representing a plethora of communities and groups. Inclusion is all about integrating a vast spectrum of values and perspectives of these diverse groups into a particular environment. One of Petadiri's major goals is making our clients understand the value of creating and fostering healthy, equitable employee relations and one way is familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals of creating an inclusive workplace.
Why is Diversity and Inclusion considered a crucial factor in 2021?
In 2021, more leaders and corporate executives are analyzing the value of Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO). Equal employment opportunity is equal opportunity to attain or maintain employment in a company, organization, or other institution (according to the EEOC, 2021). This ensures that employees in the workplace are treated with respect, kindness and dignity. EEO also shields minority groups against unnecessary workplace biases which can further perpetuate an unhealthy and toxic work environment.
Research has highlighted the many benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace: A. Higher Revenue Growth (a heterogeneous environment boots productivity)
C. Increased ability to recruit a diverse talent pool
How do you know whether you are creating a diverse and inclusive team?
Petadiri’s research on contemporary company culture has found out that when employees trust that they, and their colleagues, will be treated fairly regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or age, they are:
9.8 times more likely to look forward to going to work
6.3 times more likely to have pride in their work
5.4 times more likely to want to stay a long time at their company
One of the key ways to measure people's analytics is simply collecting and monitoring data. As experienced professionals, you can take simple steps forward in the right direction by conducting regular employee satisfaction surveys and/or catch up with your employees on the daily (tea-time banter) to find out more about their sentiments.
