Diversity means having people from different backgrounds on the team, including protected groups that are based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and people with other characteristics that make them unique. Inclusion is building a safe environment for the team where everyone feels welcome and valued. Diversity and inclusion are often used together, but inclusion is what helps us benefit from diversity. Diversity and inclusion in the workplace are new concepts. However, a lot of work has recently been done to create awareness about diversity and inclusion and to emphasize its benefits. The tech industry has particularly adapted to this and has been focusing much more on diversity and inclusion in recent years.
