What is DEI?
"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." - Verna Myers.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?are three closely linked values held by many organizations that are working to be supportive of different groups of individuals, including people of different races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations. DEI are powerful concepts that foster an inclusive and equitable business environment for all individuals. Notwithstanding, embracing DEI goes beyond merely meeting legal obligations; it's about embracing diversity in its truest sense and providing equal opportunities for everyone.
Why does it matter?
Research?has consistently shown that integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into businesses yields remarkable benefits. McKinsey's article,?"What is diversity, equity, and inclusion?", highlights that DEI-driven companies are more adept at overcoming challenges, attracting top talent, and meeting diverse customer needs. Another study by McKinsey entitled: "Diversity wins: How inclusion matters" reveals that companies with gender-diverse executive teams have a 25% higher likelihood of outperforming their counterparts in profitability, while ethnically and culturally diverse executive teams have a 36% advantage. Additionally, Deloitte's research,?"Diversity and inclusion: The reality gap", demonstrates that inclusive teams outperform their peers by a striking 80% in team-based assessments.
The bottom line here is that by embracing DEI principles, businesses unlock the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, leading to enhanced innovation, better decision-making, better customer base, and overall improved performance. It's no wonder that organizations worldwide have prioritized integrating DEI into their policies and hiring practices.
