As humans we carry some fundamental needs with us to the workplace. 

When these needs are met, it generates various positive effects for both the individual and the organization. Inclusion is built upon the two needs for social belonging and maintaining a valuable uniqueness.

This is an important distinction, as belonging without uniqueness represents a form of invisibility or assimilation. Genuine inclusion entails being treated as a valuable group member while bringing one's own distinctiveness and personal uniqueness.
