Diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace means recruiting, hiring, and retaining employees that are from different backgrounds, have different skills, and are treated as equally vital parts of the greater organization. This means that everyone feels truly welcome at your business, leading to teams that are reflective of the diversity of society at large.
