Diversity and inclusion (D&I) is more than just a policy, program, or headcount in today's time. Indeed we have come  long way where the definition of diversity is not merely the inclusion of women in the workforce, its inclusivity as a whole. Within Diversity and inclusion as an agenda, equitable employers outpace their competitors by respecting the unique needs, perspectives and potential of all their team members. As a result, diverse and inclusive workplaces are beginning to earn deeper trust and more commitment from their employees.
