Workplace diversity is a relatively recent concept in India, but some organizations are forging ahead with programs to bring in a wide mix of employees and provide them with an inclusive work environment. “In the past decade, India’s corporate landscape has witnessed a remarkable transformation in the way inclusion and diversity (I&D) is approached — evolving from check-the-box initiatives to building deeply inclusive, purpose-driven cultures,” said Achal Khanna, CEO of SHRM East. She said companies are not only seeking to get more women in their employee mix but are also fostering inclusion for people with disabilities and various sexual orientations.
