Is Making Your Organisation a Workplace for All Truly a Long Shot?
The first step is to embrace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
As we strive to build a world free from bias, discrimination, and disparity, there is a growing need to prioritise equal access to opportunities and resources. But is equal opportunity enough?
The answer is no. Only when equity and equality are present in a workplace can there be true fairness.
Why is DEI seen as one of the main factors in creating equality in the workplace?
DEI policies encompass equality and promote an inclusive and non-discriminatory workplace. It is all about appreciating the individual differences of co-workers on an equal basis, embracing diversity and bringing together an ideal workplace for all groups of people.

Let’s go deeper
It’s crucial for organisations to learn more about DEI and take the necessary steps to ensure it is practised within the workplace. In conjunction with International Women’s Day 2023, we sat down with Gamuda Board of Director, YTM Raja Dato’ Seri Eleena, to hear her take on this.

Understanding equality and equity and fitting together these aspects is the key to achieving a diverse and progressive working environment. The way to go moving forward – immerse ourselves as the agents of change and embrace equity for the benefit of everyone.
