What is Diversity and Inclusion?

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) refers to organizational practices that ensure a workforce reflects varied backgrounds and that every employee feels valued, respected, and able to contribute fully.

Why it matters in hiring

Diversity and Inclusion comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
