In an organization, diversity, equality, and inclusiveness (DEI) assist bring diverse viewpoints and ideas to build more inventive, productive, and resilient businesses. Additionally, it helps to ensure that everyone has the same chances and receives the same treatment at work at all times of the employment relationship, including during recruitment, retention, promotion, pay, and access to training and skill development.
Due to global labour mobility, the gender gap in companies has shrunk over the past three decades. An open and inclusive workplace is supported by the growing realization that all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation or ethnicity, have a right to a decent and respectful workplace. However, COVID-19's impact on the labor market has had catastrophic effects everywhere. In 2020, women's employment decreased globally by 5%, while men's employment decreased by about 4%, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
In the coming years, the technology sector will aim to reduce the gender pay gap and increase inclusivity. To encourage a pleasant workplace culture, technology companies must develop flexible work and well-being services, such as childcare and free mental health counseling.
