Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Flashcards
Extent to which each person in an organization feels welcomed, respected, supported, and valued as a team member.
INCLUSION
Refers to a workforce that approaches problems using different conceptual thought approaches that may stem from atypical brain structure, for example, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and anything categorized as existing on the autism spectrum (autism spectrum disorder, or ASD).
NEURODIVERSITY
A feeling that one’s success is due to luck, not hard work or skill; can lead individuals to feeling unfit for their current role.
IMPOSTER SYNDROME
The similarities and differences between individuals, accounting for all aspects of one’s personality and individual identity.
DIVERSITY
Additional workload that is generated for members of an underrepresented group due to their requested participation in DE&I efforts.
CULTURAL TAXATION
Voluntary group for employees who share a particular diversity dimension (race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.); also known as affinity group or network group.
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP (ERG)
Defensive behavior that occurs when an organization recruits a diverse workforce but, consciously or otherwise, promotes assimilation rather than inclusion.
