Dream Africa Diversity and Inclusion Policy involves recognising the value of individual differences and managing them in the implementation of programs. Diversity in this context covers gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, sexual orientation and religious belief.

Workplace flexibility involves developing people management strategies that accommodate differences in the background, perspectives and family responsibilities of employees.
