What does DEI really mean?

Despite the growing emphasis on DEI, confusion remains around the meanings of diversity, equity, and inclusion. These terms, while related, should not be used interchangeably or as a catch-all phrase because each represents a different side of organisational culture and requires different interventions.

Recognising their unique aspects allows organisations to implement targeted strategies that address specific challenges and opportunities, leading to more effective and impactful outcomes.

Diversity

Diversity includes everything from skin colour, age, gender and physical abilities, to background, beliefs, education, experience cognitive abilities and thinking patterns. With both physical and non-physical diversity teams can build empathy, improve engagement outcomes, reduce behavioural risk, increase team performance and lead to better financial results.

Equity

Equity goes beyond diversity and is centered on creating a level playing field. It ensures fair access, opportunities, and advancement for all individuals, regardless of their differences. For instance, in the context of transportation, equity might involve accommodating various transportation needs, such as flexible working hours, to ensure everyone has equal access to the workplace.

Inclusion

Inclusion complements diversity and equity efforts. Even in diverse and equitable environments, individuals may not always feel included. Inclusion is about fostering a sense of belonging and value among all team members. It requires empathy, considering factors like diverse experiences, structural and societal barriers, and assumptions that may affect inclusion from an employee’s perspective.
