Do your employees really feel like they belong?
Imagine that your business is a table.
Do all employees get to sit at this table? Can everyone reach the goodies on the table? Is everyone able to hear the important things being said? Does their chair allow them to sit comfortably and feel their best self?
Now, we know this might be a simple or silly metaphor. But this is a great example of how diversity, equity, and inclusion all impact the workplace.
DEI initiatives help us realize how we can give everyone an equal seat at the table. Going back to our table metaphor here: An equitable workplace looks like a massive long banquet table with different chairs for each person. These chairs should fit each person's body and help them bring their truest selves to the table. Everyone's seat should get them equal access to all the goodies. And everyone should be able to hear and participate in the conversations happening there.

Creating an equitable and inclusive workplace allows your employees to be more productive, trusting, and accepting when mistakes are made. It cultivates a culture of acceptance and belonging, helping employees bring their best and truest selves to work every day.
