The importance of recognising intersectionality in the workplace

Intersectionality refers to the interconnected nature of different aspects of a person’s identity which include, race, ethnicity and gender. In the workplace, there is already a lot of awareness on the benefits of D&I. However, the different aspects of D&I overlap with each other. Therefore, there needs to be an awareness and understanding of the intersectional nature of D&I, and how different aspects of a person’s identity can overlap and contribute to their experiences in their workplace.
