Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've focused on the workplace. Diversity, equity and inclusion are key words in most institutions around the world and these lessons address the key issues and associated problems. The reading text provides definitions of the key terms and looks at the results of two studies into gender and ethnic representation and inclusion. The listening text focuses on unconscious bias and unequal pay.

What is diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)?
|
|
|
|
Diversity, equity and inclusion, often shortened to DEI, is a collective term for the approaches, initiatives, and protocol set out in a place of work to promote equal representation and participation. According to Phillips (2021), whereas diversity denotes the range of differences among the workforce, equity and inclusion refer to the insertion of effective policies and programmes which make sure all staff are treated fairly and feel valued.
