Diversity and inclusion are two interconnected concepts—but they are far from interchangeable. Diversity
is about representation or the make-up of an entity. Inclusion is about how well the contributions,
presence and perspectives of different groups of people are valued and integrated into an environment.

An environment where many different genders, races, nationalities, and sexual orientations and identities
are present but only the perspectives of certain groups are valued or carry any authority or influence, may
be diverse, but it is not inclusive.

For me it is far more than the words on a pledge to Cultivate an Inclusive Workplace.

Inclusion is the amplifier of Diversity. Once we understand collectively what makes us different, we can
seek commonalities and implement behavioural shifts to ensure we are each equipped and empowered
with the same level of resources, understanding, and opportunity.
I’ll Continue to embrace empathy every day. It’s okay if we don’t know everything there is to know about
someone else’s culture, political stance, race, religion, etc. First, I’ll try to get to a place of understanding
with those who are unlike me in the workplace by admitting my ignorance or biases, and then
questioning and listening.
