The Cambridge English Dictionary defines inclusivity as “the quality of trying to include many different types of people and treat them all fairly and equally”. Inclusivity occurs when everyone within a team, group, organization, or collective feels involved, valued, respected, and that they are being treated fairly.
Why is inclusivity important?
Inclusivity helps develop trusting environments, fosters positive workplace cultures, and allows individuals to experience a sense of belonging. When we recognize and appreciate diversity in society, we use different and unique ways of thinking, which can foster innovation (Arvanitakis and Hornsby, 2016).
