"Diversity" has too often been used as a buzzword in the business world to describe a company's efforts to employ more people of color or more women.   Unfortunately, this is where many organizations and their surrounding communities miss the boat--because diversity is so much more than just race or gender. The organizations and communities who are truly thriving under the umbrella of "diversity" understand that the effort is a journey, and that it must encompass the understanding and focus on equity, inclusion, and engagement. Without a holistic approach to diversity, organizations and communities will remain in the "buzzword" mentality, and will not experience the economic and social benefits of a thriving community designed for all people.
