Introduction and Alignment: In today’s rapidly changing corporate world, supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace has emerged not just as a core ethical need, but also as a strategic requirement for long-term success. The concept goes beyond legal compliance; it contains a fundamental commitment to create psychologically safe spaces in which every individual can thrive, regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity. The leadership of social change agents–individuals who actively support and advance efforts to create inclusive workplaces–are valuable drivers in this transformative process. These agents play a key role in breaking barriers, repairing stereotypes, and cultivating a culture that recognizes the diverse viewpoints and contributions of all employees. We are all created equal in God’s image. It is our ethical responsibility to ensure that no person is marginalized or unfairly classified. Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to: Develop a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) proposal for a selected workplace or organization. Resources: 1.)
