We live in politically charged times, with a misperception emerging that diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are part of a political agenda. But DEI is politically agnostic. Why? Because the focus is on basic life principles, like how we understand and treat people who may be different from ourselves. DEI also helps shape a healthier culture, with enhanced collaboration, productivity, innovation and greater opportunities for all. It’s about respect, fairness and basic morality. These are human values, not political ones.
