Diversity exhibits multiple benefits to the employer and employees ranging from greater creativity to innovation and enriched employee experience and engagement. Diversity has evolved into a focus area for most organizations worldwide and businesses across industries are stepping up to create an environment in which every individual's needs are acknowledged and respected. As we make our way through the 21st century, entering most workplaces will bring us face-to-face with infrastructural changes aimed at making the workspace more conducive to diversity and inclusion. From easily accessible pathways to inclusive washrooms and common areas, offices are taking myriad steps to bolster diversity in the workspace.
Alternatively, many workspaces today strive to create safe working conditions for women and individuals belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community. However, despite these progressive alterations, the actual abilities of the minority groups are largely ignored, leading to multiple hindrances on their way to the top of the corporate ladder. In simple terms, organizations and the workforce need to realize that diversity is not merely relegated to conducive infrastructure - rather, it is a drastic change in the underlying mindset and this pivot can only be affected through consistent reinforcement.
