DEIB

What is Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)?

 

Diversity - although primarily discussed in terms of race and gender, diversity is much broader and encompasses the full range of human differences including, but not limited by, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical value systems, national origin, and political beliefs.

Equity - relates to the quality of fairness and impartiality that meets the needs of comunities where they are and allocating available resources and opportunities to create equal outcomes for all.

Inclusion - relates to the action of making environments and spaces in which all individuals are welcomed, supported, and valued.

Belonging - relates to the experience of feeling connected to and having positive relationship within a group or organization.
