DEI

Short answer: Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) refers to organizational policies and programs.

As the Reel defines them, diversity concerns representation across groups such as race, age and background; equity concerns fair treatment and access to resources; and inclusion concerns a culture where people feel welcome and able to contribute. DEI programs have been the subject of political and legal debate in the United States, including in early 2025 when this Reel was posted. The footage, credited to Apple, shows people in an office.
