ABOUT US

Why XX Matters - DEI consultancy firm helping our clients achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organizations.

Most people have the misconception that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is simply about the ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender differences, but as the saying goes, you cannot judge a book by its cover. DEI is not so much related to how we look but how we think.

On the surface, Diversity is bringing together people with differences and similarities in culture, socio-economic status, education, language, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, religion, expression, race, color, indigene, physical and mental disability, and political perspective, etc.

…But deep down, it is about the benefits associated with having a wide variety of approaches to organizational challenges. This is how it has been enhancing innovation in many businesses.

Equity is the most basic of American concepts that everyone has an equal chance to succeed and thrive based on the merits of their performance. It is promoting fairness, justice, and impartiality within an organization and identifying and eliminating barriers that do not give room for equal opportunities and treatment.

Inclusion is related to the set of complex psychological components that contribute to an individual’s willingness to make their views approach known. It is the practice of making people feel a sense of belonging in an organization to the extent that their diversity does not hinder full participation in all activities of an organization. Everyone must feel welcomed and valued.

Diversity brings people with different backgrounds the ability to lay the groundwork for higher productivity and greater innovation. Inclusion ensures that these potentials are tapped into, while Equity is for every individual to have an equal chance of success.

Even though a person’s physiology is a key component, ultimately, it is our cognitive abilities channeled through a myriad of cultural attributes that determine what we think and how we act. And this dynamism in culture can make it hard for people to relate well in the workplace, posing a challenge to globalization.

DEI consulting is about creating enhanced awareness and skills to address these challenges effectively. Ultimately by tapping into this wellspring of factors that make us different, we can create a dynamic workplace where all contributions are valued, and ideas flourish.
That’s what our expertise at Why XX Matters will help you accomplish through the various DEI services that we offer.
