Mitä tarkoitamme monimuotoisuudella ja inklusiivisuudella?

Työpaikkojen monimuotoisuus on ihmisten välisten erojen ymmärtämistä, hyväksymistä ja arvostamista mukaan lukien, mutta ei kuitenkaan rajoittuen sukupuoleen, ihonväriin, uskontoon, etnisyyteen, ikään, seksuaaliseen suuntautumiseen, siviilisäätyyn, kieleen, vammaisuuteen, tai muihin marginalisoituihin ominaisuuksiin kuten meidän kokemuksiin, mistä olemme kotoisin, keitä olemme ja miltä näytämme.

Inklusiivisuus on sellaisen työympäristön saavuttamista, jossa kaikkia ihmisiä kohdellaan oikeudenmukaisesti ja kunnioittavasti, heillä on käytössään yhdenvertaiset mahdollisuudet ja resurssit, ja he kokevat voivansa täysin osallistua organisaation menestykseen. Inklusiivisuus edistää avoimuutta, psykologista turvallisuutta ja osallisuuden tunnetta, uusien ideoiden vastaanottamista ja kaikkien äänien oikeudenmukaista kuulumista. Inklusiivisuus luo ympäristön, jossa psykologinen turvallisuus mahdollistaa haavoittuvuuden ja rakentavan keskustelun.
