A diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) organization leads to 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.

Over the past three decades, gender gaps in organizations have narrowed due to global labour mobility. 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. The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports that women's employment declined by 5% in 2021, while men's employment declined by around 4%.

There is a growing trend among technology companies to close the gender gap and enhance inclusivity. Technology companies must create flexible work and well-being programs such as free mental health counseling and childcare to promote positive work culture.
