` Embracing equality and diversity brings to an

organization a wide range of experience, ideas

and creativity.

` It gives an individual employee a feeling of being

able to work to their full potential.

` Equality and Diversity drive an organization tocomply with the Anti-Discrimination

Legislation.

` Creating a diverse workforce takes time

and even longer to reap the benefits

` Embracing diversity is more than tolerating people

who are different. It means actively welcoming and

involving them.

` If an organization does not take on this

challenge, it will soon become extinct or

left far behind.
