Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diversity of thought fuels creativity and innovation. Without it, solutions are limited. To unlock its potential, people must feel safe, relevant and have equal chances to perform.
Why Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is important...
By understanding how social power structures influence organizational processes, we can better support all employees to succeed. Embracing these differences strengthens collaboration and fosters a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to thrive.
...and the benefits of working with Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Inclusive leadership and organizations optimizes the opportunities for everyone to perform. Approaching challenges with diverse solutions proposed by engaged employees brings several benefits:
- Employees are more motivated, as they are actively involved in the process.
- Engagement and a sense of purpose lead to fewer sick leave days.
- Improved alignment between company culture and client needs.
- Faster generation of innovative ideas to enhance services and products.
Our approach
DEI change work consulted by Influence People leverages this piece of insight as an entry point when working with organizations and leaders to create sustainable individual and organizational performance.
DEI is a crucial dimension of any HR strategy or transformation because it directly impacts how people relate to each other. The first step is to map social dynamics through people analytics to identify power imbalances in organizational culture and structure. The next step is to design people processes and reshape decision-making spaces, making it difficult to practice inequality and easy to practice equality.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion are about ensuring all voices are heard and valued
At Influence People, we’ve engaged with individuals from diverse backgrounds in a series called Her and His Story, creating space for varied perspectives to be heard and fully utilized. Promoting diversity requires collaboration and an active commitment to respecting and integrating different perspectives. We know that diversity and inclusion are hallmarks of successful organizations, where diverse ways of thinking and tackling daily challenges provide broader viewpoints, enhancing creativity and innovation. In contrast, a lack of diversity weakens discussions and limits the range of possible solutions. Part of our mission is to raise awareness of the many perspectives that shape our shared reality, fostering a workplace where everyone can contribute and thrive.
In Her- and HisStory, participants reflect on the key learnings and success factors that have shaped their careers and workplace experiences.
HerStory
Part of our diversity and inclusion work is to raise awareness for different perspectives of the same reality we all live in.
Because of International Womens's Day we wanted to shed light on women's perspective on work life and work places. Here we share HerStory by six women from different industries and roles. Stories from women on what has constituted success factors and challenges in their lives.
International Women's Day and International Men's Day is days that reminds us that every human voice has the right to be heard and spoken.
HisStory
How do men in leading positions perceive the impact of diverse perspectives in boosting creativity and innovation, and how do they view the limitations that arise from a lack of diversity and inclusion? What insights and learnings do they have to share regarding equality and diversity in the workplace.
Here we share HisStory and shed light on four men from different industries and roles who share their perspective on work life and their insights and reflections on equality, diversity and inclusion.
International Women's Day and International Men's Day is days that reminds us that every human voice has the right to be heard and spoken.
