What is Inclusion?

The practices and cultural norms that ensure every employee feels valued, respected, and able to contribute fully, regardless of their background, identity, or position within the organization.

Why it matters in hiring

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.
