Enrich your workplace with DEI activities

Diversity can be defined as the state of being different. When it comes to workplaces, diversity encompasses various topics like race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and even religion.

Equity is about everyone having a level playing field and an equal opportunity to succeed. Achieving equity is much easier said than done, but it’s something every workplace should strive for.

Inclusion efforts at work are the practice of valuing diversity and creating an environment where everyone can feel respected, supported, and connected. Inclusion and diversity activities are about fostering a sense of belonging for all employees so they can do their best work.

Bringing together these three ideas creates a more [diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace](https://www.withconfetti.com/blog/post/dei-activities-in-the-workplace).

DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion, all of which are necessary to create a workplace where everyone can feel supported and thrive.

Among the many benefits of a diverse workforce (diverse teams are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors and are 87% better at making decisions), a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace results in:
- Employees feeling understood and heard, which can contribute to increased job satisfaction.
- More innovation and creativity.
- A challenge in the status quo, opening up new opportunities for your company.
- Quick and efficient problem-solving.

All of our DEI experiences are supplied by hosts and vendors who are representative of the specific culture being discussed in the event.

This means that our hosts are not only knowledgeable, passionate, and educated about these topics, but also have lived experiences that align with the community being represented in the event!

Approaching culture from a place of curiosity and empathy is a great place to start!
