“Diversity” means employing people from different backgrounds and with different experiences. These differences range from personal attributes, such as gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, color, race, religion, and nationality, to professional attributes, such as education, experience, financial status, domain knowledge, and affiliations of specific workgroups. On the other hand, “inclusion” means making sure your diverse workforce feels united, comfortable, and happy. Studies show that diverse and inclusive teams are more innovative, productive, and profitable.
