What are Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging?
Diversity includes the broad range of human differences, including race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment, or political perspective.
Equity means promoting justice and fairness within an organization’s procedures, processes, and resource distribution.
Inclusion is an outcome that ensures that people from diverse backgrounds and experiences are and feel safe, welcomed, and part of the community.
Belonging is an individual’s feeling of security, support, and acceptance within a group.
