Today, organizations understand there are many variables that will make up how their organizational culture will be perceived. A few of those variables include Generational make-up of the workforce, Ethnicity, Religious beliefs, Societal positioning, Gender.

As issues in the world and workforce change, new concepts continually evolve and this topic of Diversity, Equity (DEI) and Inclusion is the most recent effort that has become a focus of the business world.
