Diversity in this Administration’s book means, in addition to differences based on ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, national origin and sexual orientation, an infinite range of individuals’ unique characteristics and experiences, such as communication styles, career, work, life experience, educational backgrounds and other variables.  

Diversity focuses on tapping the talents of people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives as a means of improving the workplace environment and productivity.  

Diversity awareness works to create an environment that recognizes values and utilizes the unique skills and abilities of everyone.  

The goal of diversity awareness is to create an inclusive, respectful and equitable work environment and community.
