PERCEPTIONS OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (DE&I) IN ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This study sought to analyze stakeholders' perceptions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) and productivity in organizations. The methodology used was qualitative, using semi-structured interview techniques. As for the interpretation of the data, we opted for Lawrence Bardin's content analysis. The study on DE&I is timely to shed light on the labor productivity of this universe of people and their structural difficulties. The result is clear when it is noted that indigenous people, women, black men, black women, the elderly, adolescents, LGBTQIA+ people and PWD -functional and neurodivergent diversity- produce the same or more than any other human being fit for work, even in the face of the difficulties narrated in each interview, making it necessary to review the personnel policy for diversity,  equity and inclusion in organizations.
