Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are different but complementary concepts.  Diversity focuses on the representation of different groups in the organization.  Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and needs.  Inclusion is about involving individuals and groups with their unique personal characteristics and experience.  Organizations seeking to promote strong diversity, equity and inclusion policies and practices throughout their operations must allocate the appropriate resources and opportunities according to the individual circumstances balanced with the identity, skills, and experience of the other stakeholders.  They must implement all three aspects of DEI for people to contribute their unique identity, skills, and experience and to reap its full benefits.
