What is diversity & inclusion?
Diversity refers to the variety of differences among people in a group or organization. These differences can include things like race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, and cultural background.
Inclusion, on the other hand, refers to the practices and policies that create a sense of belonging and acceptance for all people, regardless of their differences. Together, diversity and inclusion refer to the practice of valuing and supporting a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within a group or organisation.
