Abstract :
The study assesses changes that have
occurred to date with regard to diversity, equity and
inclusion (DEI) in the workplace and exploring ways of
adopting DEI in a sustainable way. The study follows a
systematic desk top research and techniques
methodology to review existing literature on DEI in the
workplace. Findings of the research are that time factor
is a crucial component of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
(DEI) adoption. Interpretations of DEI are dynamic,
they need continuous listening and learning. DEI as a
performance tool allows the power of one individual to
influence a group’s social majority as objectivity takes
precedence. DEI is the gateway to breakthrough
innovation and is a building block to a better workplace.
A practical implication of this research is that time is a
critical factor in keeping up with DEI doctrine dynamics,
keeping DEI relevant and continuously pursuing DEI
phenomenon so that its benefits are well understood,
appropriately incorporated, and sustainably managed.
The research limitations are that organizational
stakeholders best placed to promote adoption of DEI in
the workplace have not been identified. Further studies
are recommended to appreciate DEI impact at industry,
geographical and individual employee level in line with
organizational success.
Keywords :
Diversity; Equality; Equity; Exclusion; Identity; Inclusion and Workplace.
