Community of Practice

Understanding the differences between equity and equality is extremely important when considering basic dignity needs and the DEI space. Workplaces must understand that equality within the company doesn't necessarily mean equal access. A "one size fits all" approach won't work for inclusivity because, simply put, not every individual has the same advantages or disadvantages. Equality without equity is another example of a "band-aid" approach to DEI because it is a small solution for a much larger, more complex issue. Without equal access to resources, inclusivity efforts can result in tokenization.
