Tech Innovators Ltd$.$

Tech Innovators Ltd$.,$ a leading technology company, has experienced rapid growth over the past five years. With a workforce that has expanded from $200$ to $1,000$ employees, the company has seen an influx of diverse talent from various cultural, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. Despite this growth, the company has faced several challenges related to diversity and inclusion.

The team members from different departments are in conflict because of language and cultural misunderstandings. For example, a team meeting scheduled during a major religious holiday caused discomfort among employees who felt their cultural practices were not respected. Data from internal surveys indicated that employees from previously disadvantaged groups felt they had fewer opportunities for career advancement compared to their counterparts. Women and people living with disabilities reported feeling undervalued and overlooked for promotions. During performance reviews, some managers unconsciously favored employees who shared similar backgrounds and interests, impacting the fairness and objectivity of evaluations.

For the past two years, the company has experienced a higher turnover rate among employees from previously disadvantaged groups. Exit interviews revealed that a lack of inclusion and understanding within the workplace was a significant factor in their decision to leave.
