Measuring Diversity Practice And Developing Inclusion
Research over the past three decades have demonstrated that even though organisations may have the requisite diversity in their midst, the employees may not feel that all the strands of their social identities may be appreciated and included – hence, leaving them feeling excluded.

LGBTQ Inclusivity and Language in the Workplace
To quote Bill Crawford, “Diversity, or the state of being different, isn’t the same as inclusion.
