Inclusion is the culture in which the mix of people can come to work, feel comfortable and confident to be themselves, and work and live in a way that feels true to them. Inclusion will ensure that everyone feels valued and importantly, adds value. You cannot have inclusion without diversity and, once you have these - belonging is possible
