Definitions
- Diversity describes the spectrum of human similarities and differences. It refers to the composition of people associated with the organization Inclusion, on the other hand, describes the way an organization configures opportunity, interaction, communication, information, and decision-making to utilize the potential of diversity. It refers to the organizational environment.
- Inclusion involves creating the structures, policies, and practices in organizational life that recognize the existence of multiple perspectives and signal the importance of learning from differences. Organizations might be diverse without being inclusive. (Vol 7, No 2 - January 2000, The Diversity Network)
