Our building blocks
Diversity Equity/Equality Inclusion Belonging
Diversity
Great strides have been made in some countries to ensure women are included in diversity. In fewer countries strides have been made to ensure that those with fluid gender and those with different sexuality are included. Race or nationality can operate in different ways. In the Middle East there are the locals (the indigenous) and the expats. For the expats your race/nationality determines your salary.
Equity/Equality
The law in the UK states that everyone be treated equally. That those born to privilege are treated in Law. the same way as those not.
In the USA Equity is the key where allowance is made about your background and circumstance to enable you to work on a level playing field.
Inclusion and Belonging.
Diversity is being asked to the dance, Inclusion is being asked to dance. Belonging refers to an individual’s sense of acceptance. Belonging is usually the result of the level of inclusion an individual feels in their environment, where they can be themselves and be part of the team.
For example; If you have a woman on an all-male board and all they are asked to deal with is ‘women’s issues’ or maybe ‘soft skills’ such as HR then that is not inclusion. Same applies to LGBT community. It’s about being included and belong to every day decisions. The same can apply to many other diversity categories such as age, education, culture. Having to code-switch to be included may be necessary – as speaking the same language can help
Issues can occur in an international organisation where the culture of the Organisation is at odds with the culture of the country.
