Why corporate inclusion policies are moral decisions not just business ones?

A company’s inclusion policy is like making sure everyone has a seat at the lunch table, it's about fairness and kindness, not just getting more cookies.

Imagine you're in a classroom where some kids get extra crayons just because they’re friends with the teacher. That doesn’t feel right to the others who are working just as hard. Inclusion policies help make sure that everyone gets a fair chance, no matter their background or how they look. It's like saying, "Everyone deserves to be heard and seen."

When companies choose to include more people, they're making a moral decision, not just trying to get more money. It's like choosing to share your favorite toy with someone who didn’t have one, you might not get the most playtime, but you’re being kind.

If a company only picks the loudest voices or the ones that look most like them, they're missing out on all the different ideas and talents that others bring. It's like having just one color of paint when there are so many beautiful colors to choose from, why not use them all?

In the end, being fair makes everyone feel better, and that’s a kind of joy you can’t buy with money.
