    Inclusive language is language that avoids words, phrases, or tones that reflect stereotypical or discriminatory views of particular groups. It aims to include all people rather than exclude them. Examples of inclusive versus exclusive language provided include using "everyone" instead of "guys," "a person with disabilities" instead of "disabled person," and "what does your spouse do?" instead of gendered terms like "husband." The document encourages discussion of why inclusive language matters, whether one's company uses it, experiences of feeling excluded by language, and how to promote awareness and use of inclusive language.

    Inclusive language

    What is inclusive language?

    Inclusive language is language that is free from words, phrases or tones that reflect
    stereotyped or discriminatory views of particular people or groups. It is also language
    that doesn’t exclude people from being seen as part of a group. Inclusive language is
    sometimes called non-discriminatory language.
