What is workplace diversity?

Workplace diversity refers to the range of individuals that work within a company. A diverse workplace embraces and supports different backgrounds, identities and ways of thinking.

Employers can create the policies to help ensure an inclusive and diverse workplace but it’s also the responsibility of every employee to support this inclusivity. It’s important to treat everybody with respect, including how we act and the language we use.

Diversity promotes inclusivity and is a fundamental part of building a workplace that has a positive company culture. It makes everybody feel welcome and allows them to bring their most authentic and productive self to work.
