What is Diversity?
Most of us know that diversity describes the wide variety of
differences between people that set them apart. And when speaking
about diversity at the workplace, we often think of it in terms of
tangible differences. This includes caste, race, religion, gender,
gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, language, age, and
socioeconomic status.
However, diversity would also mean variety in terms of ideas,
values, past industry experiences and perspectives.
Similarly, differences in mental and physical ability,
relationship status and whether or not you have children are also
components of diversity.
Diversity in India
In the Indian landscape, a gender-diverse workforce is almost a
given. However, now organisations are pushing beyond gender
diversity and exploring new arenas to make meaningful changes to
the DNA of their organisation and create a thriving workforce.
