Diversity is not just about different people coming together. These differences foster varied ways of thinking, idea generation, viewpoints, etc., and when all these come together, creativity and innovation become a norm and these differences should not only be accepted but actually celebrated. Organizations are looking at diversity as an integral part of business and not as a special initiative.
Using the Diversity and Inclusion app in Microsoft Teams, employees can easily discover existing Diversity and Inclusion groups, create new ones which will help them to connect and collaborate with like-minded peers in the organization. The Diversity and Inclusion app helps an organization build a robust diversity and inclusion culture in their organization using Teams. Users can search for and discover D&I related groups, learn about your organization's D&I resources with a Q&A bot, build stronger bonds with other group members through weekly networking matching and receive announcements from their D&I leadership.
- Discover and join existing Employee resource groups (ERGs) and create new ones in the personal tab
- Navigate to a corresponding team in Microsoft Teams from the personal tab to collaborate on goals, events and initiatives and also as a platform to capture or record ideas
- Get automatically paired with individuals from the same group to increase belonging and inclusivity
- Ask questions to the bot and get them answered
