In any organization, diversity, equity and inclusion are more than just important. They’re essential. Amazing things can happen when people from different races, genders, cultures, abilities and beliefs work together to execute a plan. Whether you’re brainstorming new concepts, executing a project or trying to solve a business problem, involving people with different backgrounds and experiences can help you achieve your goals more effectively and efficiently.
If you want to help create a more inclusive and informed culture within your own organization, one of the first steps you can take is to establish a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) council. DEI councils can help challenge your colleagues and leaders to create a more accepting workplace for all – and even the smallest steps can make a big difference.
To help you get started, take a look at these tips from our very own DEI council leaders here at DeVry University.

In another study, companies with above-average diversity scores reported an average of nearly 20% more innovation revenue than those with a below-average score.
