The issues of diversity and inclusion within corporate and educational organizations have gained prominence over the past few years

  The issues of diversity and inclusion within corporate and educational organizations have gained prominence over the past few years. One of the considerations before seeking employment at a specific institution is aligning yourself with their diversity and inclusion policy or value statement. As an example, NOVA's Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion policyLinks to an external site., located on NOVA's website under "About NOVA", is as follows: “The Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion is committed to advancing Inclusive Excellence to improve the well-being and success of all NOVA students, NOVA faculty, NOVA staff, and community members. The Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion works in collaboration with all facets of NOVA to elevate the acceptance of different ideas, values, beliefs, intersectionalities, abilities, and perspectives while also advancing equity as aligned with the College's Mission Links to an external site.and Strategic PlanLinks to an external site., and help create and sustain a more inclusive and accepting college community." 1. Identify an organization aside from NOVA, locate their diversity and equity value statement or policy (look for an "About Us" or similar link) and respond to the following: • Copy and paste the organization's diversity and equity value statement or policy; citing the organization in which you obtained it from. • After reading the diversity and equity value statement or policy, what two aspects do you connect to specifically? • If you wanted to clarify or better understand the diversity and inclusion value statement or policy, what specific question would you ask somebody who works at the organization

      Two aspects I connect to specifically:
  1. The emphasis on creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard. This is important to me because I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or identity. I also believe that creating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves is essential for fostering innovation and creativity.
  2. The commitment to having a diverse workforce that leads to better products, services, and ideas for our users. I believe that diversity of thought is essential for solving problems and coming up with new ideas. I am also impressed by Google's commitment to using its resources to make the world a more inclusive place.

Question I would ask somebody who works at Google to clarify or better understand the diversity and inclusion value statement or policy:

"What specific initiatives has Google implemented to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace?"

I am curious to learn more about the specific steps Google has taken to make its workplace more inclusive. I would also like to know how employees are involved in these initiatives and how Google measures the success of its diversity and inclusion programs.
