Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – Insights from a Justice Perspective

Abstract

Diversity, equity, and inclusion have been topics of increasing interest as many organizations give lip service to the importance of treating employees fairly. In this paper we expand the discussion of justice - noting that equity is only one of twelve justice-based elements and clarifying why all twelve of those elements are essential in increasing employee belonging and commitment. We encourage organizations to expand their commitment to all the elements of justice to increase employee ownership and performance and to build greater organization trust.
