Diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) in an organization help bring unique perspectives and ideas to create more innovative, productive, and resilient enterprises. Additionally, it contributes to equality of opportunity and treatment at all phases of the employment relationship, including recruitment, retention, promotion, remuneration, and training.

Gender gaps in organizations have narrowed over the past three decades due to labour mobility worldwide. There has been an increasing global awareness that all workers have a right to a dignified and respectful workplace irrespective of their sexual orientation and ethnicity, which helps to promote an open and inclusive workplace. However, labour market disruption due to the COVID-19 has had devastating consequences globally. Globally, women's employment declined by 5% in 2021, compared with around 4% for men, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Technology companies are working towards closing the gender gap and enhancing inclusivity. Technology companies must create flexible work and well-being programs such as free mental health counseling and childcare to promote positive work culture.
