Diversity and Inclusion in Project Management
Diversity and inclusion are terms used in the context of promoting diversity and equality in our society.
Diversity here refers to the variety of people represented in a particular group or organization. This includes their differences in gender, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, education, socioeconomic status, and more.
Through inclusion, in turn, you create an environment in which all members of a group or organization are respected, recognized and supported - regardless of their individual differences. Inclusion goes beyond mere tolerance. All members should be actively involved and integrated.
