What is Diversity Equity and Inclusion?
Diversity equity and inclusion is a movement that uses education to recognize and address how power, privilege, and society affect our personal identities. It also works to ensure equal employment opportunities within companies, as well as recognizing differences in backgrounds, cultures, skillsets and perspectives.

Managing diversity in the canadian workplaceSyed Jaffery
Canada’s workplace is very diverse; Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs) contribute to Canada’s diversity and as newcomers have to learn how to manage diversity in the workplace. IEPs should have an insight on how to harness the performance potential of an increasingly diverse workforce to improve business performance.
Facts indicative of the magnitude of Canadian workforce diversity:
1.Canada brings in 250,000 immigrants every year. Skilled immigrants constitute the largest group of immigrants to Canada.
2.Two thirds of Canada’s population growth from 31.2 million in 2006 to 33.5 million in 2011 came from immigration. By 2030, immigration is expected to contribute to 80% of Canada’s population growth.
3.The imminent retirement of baby boomers, currently representing 43% of the workforce will create a shortage in the workforce, which has to be bridged by immigration. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that Canada needs 375,000 immigrants a year to stabilize the workforce and ensure economic growth.
Thus, it is important for IEPs to learn how to successfully manage diversity in the Canadian workplace and be able to contribute to improve business performance.
What our presentation will involve
The group’s presentation will discuss diversity management in the workplace, by defining it and providing examples and personal experiences on how diversity enables innovation and turns it to competitive advantage for the organization.
The presentation will also cover benefits of diversity in the workplace, the requirements to instill diversity in the work culture, and the challenges associated with the process. Overview of the federal laws is included as well. Our report will also talk about government organizations that oversee the implementation of federal legislative tools.
The presentation will endeavor to highlight the inclusion and diversity practices adopted by Canadian corporations and the problems faced by newcomers in gaining acceptance of their education and credentials besides the challenges faced in communicating with a diverse workforce and harnessing its potential to increase business performance.
Actions
The recommendations are aimed at increasing the awareness of IEPs to face challenges and better manage diversity in the Canadian workplace, by
•Providing better information about important aspects of diversity
•making them aware of their rights and privileges
•Instilling pride and confidence, that despite the challenges the IEPs will face, they represent a talent pool that has made significant contribution to Canadian economy and society
•Help identify companies and inclusion practices that encourage and embrace diversity
•Provide them with suggestions given by industry experts on how they can integrate faster into the workplace and start managing themselves and others better to increase business performance
Our 10th anniversary provides a moment to reflect on the company that we’ve built together.
What I see is a company that is successful to a great extent because it is diverse, fair and just. A company that strives to behave honestly, ethically and with great integrity.
I hear different voices, listen to different perspectives and hear discussion and debate. I see people of very different backgrounds and upbringings treated fairly and given equal opportunity to thrive.
Reward Gateway is becoming a great company because we employ as many women as we do men, because we pay and reward fairly and because we are open to everyone regardless of the gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, age or educational background.
It is this diversity that makes us strong and resilient.
But still, our ambition exceeds our ability. We want to do more. We need better ethnic diversity, we need better age diversity. We need to find and eliminate unfairness and bias wherever we find it. We need to drive out anything that stands between us and the best talent.
This report is another good step on that journey.

Essay on diversity in the workplace - aiu(final)Donasian Mbonea
The world’s increasing globalization requires more interac¬tion among people from diverse backgrounds. People no longer live and work in an insular environment; they are now part of a worldwide economy competing within a global framework. For this reason, profit and non-profit organizations need to become more diversified to remain competitive. Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity is an important issue for management (Betchoo, 2015)
Supervisors and managers need to recognize the ways in which the workplace is changing and evolving. Managing diversity is a significant organizational challenge, so mana¬gerial skills must adapt to accommodate a multicultural work environment. (Agarwala, 2010)
It is a known fact that diversity is gaining more importance nowadays than ever before given that the world better accommodates people with differences since it has transformed into a global village, a term that looked distant in the past but looks more apparent today than ever before. This calls for acceptance of differences which are, in essence, the elements of diversity. Traditionally, diversity could mainly focus on gender, age and ethnicity issues but there are new concepts like HIV/AIDS workers, dual – career couples, mobile workers that have become part of the workplace and have their role to play in the society (Betchoo, 2015).
Then comes the foreign employee. There are two trends that are identifiable. Firstly, people from the developing world moved in large numbers to rich countries that were their former colonists. Secondly, top executives are moving to developing nations to sell their managerial expertise. Foreign employees might also invoke the issue of cultural diversity and tolerance. Acceptance of diversity also covers the issue of race relations which are easy tough to manage despite struggles won in many parts of the world.
Workplace diversity exists when companies hire employees from various backgrounds and experiences. Many companies see workplace diversity as an investment toward building a better business. Although workplace diversity provides many benefits, it also poses many challenges to employees and managers. To reap the benefits of workplace diversity, employees and managers must understand the challenges and know how to effectively deal with them.
The essay explore the meaning of diversity as a concept, managing diversity, a model for diversity, HRM in workplace diversity, tools for managing diversity, benefits of diversity in the workplace, challenges of diversity in the workplace, strategies for managing diverse workforce, Literature review on managing workplace diversity as well as reviewing one case study on the topic.
The Measureable Value of Diversity and InclusionLaunchpad
Diversity and inclusivity (D&I) in the workplace is one of the most pressing and controversial topics in the business world today. This subject receives extensive coverage nationally and internationally – but are we simply paying it lip service? It could be that we have our sights set much farther than where our feet lie. At the very least, conversations surrounding D&I have blossomed encouraging coherent strategies for a more inclusive future.
The perception of power is a cultural phenomenon. Different cultures accept the dynamic of power in very different ways. Some accept unequally distributed power as a natural part of the professional world, where other cultures engage and view that power is equal among contributors. This cultural concept is known as power distance. When in a high power distance culture the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of dependence. When in a low power distance society the relationship between bosses and subordinates is one of interdependence. Knowledge of how you and your team perceive power and accept structure will impact the ease of communication and affect leadership style choices. Culture is a powerful dynamic that helps us understand and be more specific about relationship conflicts and triumphs.
Learning Objectives: Increase professional development, awareness, and communication strategies.
Outcomes-At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Leaders share Cultural challenges and triumphs
b. Identify core issues and strategies to manage communication diversity
c. Explore potential impact of language on confidence and perceived value
d. Examine leadership styles and principles to accommodate power distance cultural factors
e. Explore workplace communication and effectiveness

Eyes on Extension: A model for diverse advisory leadershipEric Kaufman
Presentation for the 2015 Public Issues Leadership Development conference, sponsored by the Joint Council of Extension Professionals.
From creating an inclusive environment to understanding volunteer motivations and barriers, we’ll explore special considerations for diverse volunteers and for potential decision-making volunteers. Get prepared to welcome diverse advisory leaders into your programs and leverage them for future success.
Leader Development Across the Life SpanEric Kaufman
Leadership development is a vested interest of Extension, which provides a multitude of programs for individuals of all ages. To properly position each program and meet the needs of participants, we must understand the progression of leader development across a leader’s entire life experiences. With a foundation that builds on three established frameworks, the proposed model of leader development across the life span suggests that when a leader encounters triggers, resulting from interactions and engagement with society, they initiate an inward-focused, meaning-making process that results in action. With this, a leader exerts a greater influence within the environment as he or she develops. This session further explores the implications of a life span model of leader development for leadership programs in a variety of contexts and provides an overview of possible applications for Extension professionals.

Launching a new scholarly press involves a number of considerations; many of the decisions to be made involve tradeoffs and ethical considerations. Framing the discussion is the balance between “profitability” and scholarly contribution. Questions of funding sources, recruiting staff, developing editorial and business strategy, creating an advisory board, and evaluating new projects and authors contain ethical choices. Ethical climates vary; the right climate in the organization and fit between alliance partners are key. Deviance in its positive sense can be a source of innovation and creativity. Stories can be used to connect with our readers; stories are also useful in organizations to impart ethics and purposeful direction to organizations. The quest is to change the way we publish—thinking digitally from the beginning of the process, pursuing diverse funding sources, innovating in dissemination and marketing.
An exploration of the relationship between employee engagement and leadership, and how they might affect quality. Includes references to external sources.
Whether due to the buying power of minority groups, the ideas generated by diverse mindsets, or growth in the minority labor pool, many of the most successful organizations have the most inclusive employee base. However, the big questions still remain on how to create a culture of inclusion, where to find diverse talent and how to engage and recruit diverse talent. We will look at four building blocks for developing a company-wide inclusion program that begins with creating the right environment for success and challenges much of our traditional thinking in how to find and engage diverse candidates.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
