Diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) in an organization help bring varied opinions and ideas to create more creative, effective, and resilient enterprises. It also helps to make sure that everyone has the same chances and is treated equally at all stages of the employment relationship, including hiring, retaining employees, promoting them, paying them fairly, and providing access to training and skill development.

Due to global labor mobility, the gender gap in companies has shrunk over the past three decades. The growing understanding that all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation or ethnicity, have a right to a dignified and respected workplace supports an open and inclusive workplace. However, COVID-19's impact on the labor market has had catastrophic effects everywhere. In 2021, 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. Technology companies must develop flexible work and well-being services, such as childcare and accessible mental health counseling, to encourage accessible pleasant workplace culture.
