Question

Maria Fernandez has a physical disability that requires an elevated seating arrangement. The HR manager noted this during her interview and had an elevated seat arranged for her from her first day at office. This special arrangement made for Maria is an example of ________.

Answer 1

Answer is Inclusion

Explanation: Inclusion is actually ensuring the establishment of a work environment where every employee is treated fairly and valued equally, have equal access to work opportunities and resources, and is encouraged to be optimally productive to the organization.

Inclusion should not be confused with Diversity. Though closely related and a tandem of each other, Inclusion has a different concept to diversity. Diversity has to do with employing a diverse group or team of people in traits and characteristics (such as race, color, age, gender, disability, marital status, e.t.c) which makes them unique. Inclusion on the other hand has to do with organizational behavior and ethics to ensure every employee (no matter their diversity) is fairly treated and has equal access to opportunities and resources.
