We have frequently heard about organizations having an Equal
Opportunity Policy which mainly stems from the requirements under
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016; in the Indian
landscape, increasingly companies are now going beyond being an
equal opportunity provider who ensures there is equal opportunity
for everyone and there is no discrimination at the workplace and
are setting serious goals towards having a diverse workforce which
contributes to the talent pool of the company and an inclusive
workplace environment where employees feel valued and included.
What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion?
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or DE&I, as it is more
commonly referred to is not a new concept, however, to build an
effective DE&I strategy, it is important to understand the
difference between each of these three concepts and how to address
each of them.
