Culture of belonging

Humans thrive on being part of a community. No one, no matter who they are, wants to be “other.”

By fostering a culture of diversity – or a capacity to appreciate and value individual differences – employers benefit from varied perspectives on confronting business challenges and achieving success. Organizations with strong diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are more likely to have employees with higher levels of trust and increased job satisfaction because employees understand that no matter their difference, they contribute to the company’s overall success.

Focusing on DEI is not simply a box to be ticked but a promise companies make to their employees. Use this guide to learn more about the different dimensions of diversity, improve teamwork and build a supportive workplace.
