Diversity and inclusion like keys in business
Being true to oneself in a work environment could be a business advantage for members of a diverse workforce.

"Long before I started work as the CEO of Apple I became aware of a fundamental truth: People are much more willing to give of themselves when they feel that their selves are being fully recognised and embraced. At Apple, we try to make sure people understand that they don't have to check their identity at the door…Inclusion also turns out to be great for the creativity that drives our business.
We've found that when people feel valued for who they are, they have the comfort and confidence to do the best work of their lives."
