diversity initiatives
Workplace representation efforts
Diversity initiatives are programs or policies designed to increase representation of underrepresented groups—typically based on race, gender, ethnicity, or other characteristics—within organizations or institutions.
The term appears frequently in corporate and academic contexts: The company launched diversity initiatives to recruit more minority candidates.
Critics from different directions question whether such programs are effective, sufficient, or fair.
