What is Race and Ethnicity?

Race and ethnicity refer to groups of people who share common physical, cultural, or ancestral traits. While race often refers to physical characteristics, ethnicity is more about cultural factors like language, traditions, and heritage.

How it Applies to the Workplace

In the workplace, acknowledging race and ethnicity means recognizing the unique experiences that people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds bring. It’s about creating a space where racial diversity is celebrated, and where policies are in place to combat discrimination. A racially and ethnically diverse workplace leads to richer perspectives and stronger innovation.
