Diversity-inclusion in the workplace is a commitment to recognizing, appreciating and retaining the variety of characteristics that make individuals unique in an atmosphere that champions individual and collective achievement. For progressive organizations seeking financial soundness and solid growth, diversity is a vital part of their commercial decision-making and strategic planning. Today, it is widely recognized that diversity occupies an increasingly prominent place in corporate America's business agenda and is on every CEO's priority list.
