What is DEI
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
It focuses on ensuring representation, fairness in opportunity, and support for all groups in the workplace, especially marginalized ones.
DEI efforts arose to address issues like sexism, racism, religious hate, casteism, ableism (discrimination against people with disabilities), queerphobia, or other forms of bigotry and discrimination in work environments.
DEI schemes aim to improve workforce representation and align products and services with diverse user needs.
