The Evolution of Workplace Inclusion From Benchmarks to Culture

The journey towards workplace inclusion for women has seen the adoption of benchmarks aimed at improving diversity metrics. These benchmarks have nudged organizations towards recognizing gender disparities and taking initial steps to address them. This focus on benchmarks has, however, often led to tokenistic measures rather than real change. The evolution from mere numerical goals to cultivating a culture of inclusion is essential. Achieving this requires leadership commitment, policy changes, and an environment that values diversity in thoughts and experiences.
