Abstract
 
DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and is often used to describe programs and resources for addressing diversity in the workplace. Diversity is the presence of differences within a given organization or group of individuals. Equity addresses the impartiality and fairness of processes, norms, and opportunities to ensure equal possible outcomes for each individual. Inclusion is the practice of ensuring that individuals feel a sense of belonging in their workplace. Recently, the DEI acronym has changed to JEDI, to include the concept of justice. Justice, in this context, addresses the dismantling of structural barriers to resources and opportunities by organizations.​
