Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Navy is a set of policies and programs that promote the fair treatment of all people. DEI aims to create a culture of inclusion where everyone feels welcome and can perform to their full potential.
Why is DEI important in the Navy?
DEI can help the Navy achieve its mission by harnessing the creative powers of a diverse team. DEI can help the Navy sustain a sharp team that embraces people achieving their highest potential.
A non-inclusive environment, where some are intentionally excluded, can negatively impact the mission of the U.S. Navy.
