Diversity as a trend: on the road to true inclusion in the workplace

One of the current buzzwords is "diversity". More and more companies are also trying to link their brand with diversity, conveying the promise of an open, inclusive, diverse environment and thereby making themselves appear more attractive and successful in a highly competitive business market. However, there is still a big difference between the promise and the reality. Inclusion and diversity are seen as a passing trend or a superficial promise, instead of a multitude of benefits such as securing skilled workers, increased diversity in the company and a spirit of innovation. "Diversity, Equality & Inclusion" is not just a motto for the future, but should represent a lived, fair and balanced working world.
