Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are frequently used terms in diversity-related research,
organizations, and the media. As such, this book uses diversity; diversity and inclusion; and
diversity, equity, and inclusion to refer generally to related efforts to ensure that individuals
of all backgrounds are treated as valued applicants, employees, and customers. While
some research and organizations use slightly different terminology, the focus on ensuring
individuals of all backgrounds are valued and have opportunities to thrive and contribute
remains the same.
In this book, diversity is defined as real or perceived differences among people in race;
ethnicity; sex; age; physical and mental ability; sexual orientation; religion; work and family
status; weight and appearance; social class; and other identity-based areas that affect their
experiences, outcomes, and opportunities in organizations and society. These focal areas
encompass differences that are based on power or dominance relations among groups,
particularly “identity groups,” which are the collectivities people use to categorize
themselves and others.
