"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." — Vernã Myers In our "Inspiring Inclusion" series, we celebrate the essence of creating environments where everyone feels genuinely welcomed and valued. This quote by Vernã Myers perfectly encapsulates the difference between mere diversity and true inclusion. #InspiringInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion #WorkplaceCulture #CelebrateDiversity #InclusiveLeadership

“There is no such thing as normal”, is one of the key findings of this year´s Diversity Week at Drees & Sommer. Futhermore: ➡ Equal opportunities on paper is not enough – opportunities must be actively created. ➡ Everyone has to start with themselves – and get out of their compfort zone. ➡ Diversity in leadership makes all the difference.   In times like these, raising awareness for diversity is particularly important. Not only because of the inspiring content that enriches everyday work for all of us, but also because campaigns such as the Diversity Week set an example: For democracy and freedom. Against hatred and discrimination. And against right-wing extremism. Because if we are to solve the complex challenges of the future, we need diverse perspectives, not populism. 🤝 Find out what else was on the agenda of our Diversity Week. 👇   #diversity #inclusion #fordiversity 

Happy New Year, everyone! As a D&I professional with lived experience of inclusion challenges, I was recently asked to share some insights on diversity and inclusion for https://lnkd.in/eSF3u3n9 Feel free to share your own insights in the comments. Diversity and inclusion is for everyone, there is value in difference and inclusion means that everyone gets a fair crack. There will be opposition to doing things differently to accommodate underrepresented groups. But let's keep up the momentum in 2024 and work towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #DiversityandInclusion #Equity #Inclusion #UnderrepresentedGroups
