diversity policies

Workplace inclusion programs

Diversity policies are organizational guidelines designed to increase representation of historically underrepresented groups—typically by race, gender, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation.

In employment and education, these policies range from broad commitments to inclusive hiring to specific recruitment targets.

The company revised its diversity policies after the lawsuit.

Critics call them preferential treatment; supporters call them corrective measures.

The term often appears alongside "equity" and "inclusion" in institutional language.
