The key to achieving diversity and equity in organizations is to prioritize inclusion, as inclusion is the foundational element that leads to the other two. By focusing on creating a culture of inclusion, where individuals feel safe, welcomed, celebrated for their uniqueness, and championed, organizations can progress towards a higher level of diversity and equity. The four stages of inclusion are: safe, welcome, celebrated, and championed. The emphasis is on valuing and celebrating differences rather than commonalities, as uniqueness enriches collective perspectives and brings collective benefits. The goal is to move individuals up the inclusion dial without moving others down, ensuring a continuous progression towards a more inclusive environment.
