Equality, diversity & inclusion in the workplace

Why encouraging equality, diversity & inclusion is important in the workplace? First of all, it will keep your employees happy and motivated, which in turn will make your organisation more successful. Second, it will help to improve ideas and problem-solving, as well as attract new staff and keep good staff. Finally, this will also have its effects down the line, as you will be able to better serve a diverse range of customers.

How can you, as a leader, ensure equality, diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace??

Equality means that everyone has equal job opportunities additionally being fair towards employees and applicants.

Diversity includes having a wide range of different people in your workforce. For example, employees of different ages, with different religions, of different ethnicities, people with disabilities, as well as people with different genders.

Inclusion consists of making employees feel safe and valued at work. Leaving room for them to share their ideas and give suggestions.

AIESEC holds these three principles very close to the heart and we think it is very important that they are implemented everywhere. How can you, as a business, develop these three principles? AIESEC is here for you, we help to find suitable and skilled candidates from our international talent pool, who can contribute to those three principles.
