Diversity creates challenges and opportunities in the workplace, as it can be visible, such as ethnicity, gender, age, physical disabilities, religion, or it can be felt in under-represented groups, for example, when someone can be “the only foreigner”, or “the lonely LGBTIQ+”, or “the only newcomer”, or “the only woman, the only man.” A huge number of surveys have found that a top factor why employees voluntarily leave their jobs is a lack of inclusion within their work environments. At the same time, scholars of diversity and inclusion define inclusion based on two separate elements: uniqueness and a sense of belonging. Employees, that is, have the need to feel part of a group, which at the same time, does not force them to assimilate. The Thematic Area “Culture and Sustainable Development” creates conditions of inclusion and participation through effective programs that consider both the uniqueness of employees and citizens in general, as well as the sense of belonging. They provide leaders with training tools and opportunities, that are inextricably linked to sustainable development and social governance, to support a fair and inclusive working environment.
