What’s the Problem?
In 2025, the traditional adage—“Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance; belonging is feeling comfortable enough to change the song”—remains relevant. However, a more pressing reality has emerged: many employees are choosing to stay home, whether by choice or because they weren’t invited.
This shift underscores a critical issue: while 86% of professionals report feeling they belong at work, only 76% feel safe speaking up when something feels off. Moreover, 62% of employees would decline a job offer or leave a company if the manager is non-inclusive and lacks support for DEI.
The evolving landscape of work—marked by hybrid models, increased use of AI tools, and a focus on mental health—has made it more challenging to foster genuine inclusion and belonging. As organizations navigate these complexities, it’s imperative to recognize that true inclusion goes beyond policies; it requires creating environments where employees feel safe, heard, and valued.
At Mora & Co., we are committed to helping organizations bridge the gap between DEI initiatives and actual employee experiences. We focus on integrating DEI into the fabric of company culture, ensuring that every employee feels empowered to bring their authentic self to work.
As the workplace continues to evolve, prioritizing genuine inclusion and belonging is not just a moral imperative but a strategic one.
