Equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace is a continuing challenge, in particular in times of significant changes such as accelerated digitalisation and automation, increased use of artificial intelligence, or increased care needs related to the demographic change. All those transformations have an impact on inclusive organisational culture: they can pose serious threats but they can also be turned into opportunities.

“Thousands of EU-based companies and organisations in different sectors and of different sizes are actively enhancing inclusion and belonging in their workplaces. They are thus contributing to a Union of Equality, where everyone is valued and appreciated for who they are. Diversity and inclusion policies in the workplace can also help organisations, employers and workers, embrace the opportunities of a changing world of work, spurred by the demographic, green and technological transitions.”

Helena Dalli, European Commissioner for Equality

Celebrated each May, European Diversity Month draws attention to the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This is your organisation’s chance to take a stand and promote diversity and inclusion.
