DEI, Identity and Belonging

Australia is a diverse society with a long and rich history. While it offers many strengths and opportunities and has achieved much, its history also includes exclusion and disadvantage that is not universally understood and has not been fully acknowledged or addressed.

By understanding and acknowledging our multiple and diverse identities, DEI specialists and HR professionals are creating a foundation for their own practice of DEI. This section provides considerations for DEI specialists and HR professionals to support their understanding and application in their own organisations.

The Role of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Current Context

There has never been a more rich or volatile context in which to further the DEI agenda. Conversations about DEI are occurring in organisations of every size, across all sectors and industries, and within key stakeholder groups, and the expectations of DEI specialists and HR professionals to deliver effective outcomes from DEI programs are high.

As a result, DEI has become a core capability for HR professionals, and it is critical that DEI specialists and HR professionals are able to navigate the changing context of DEI and effectively apply their understanding and knowledge in their organisations.

Critical elements that drive Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Impact
