The Wheel of Diversity, developed by Marilyn Loden, is a powerful framework that helps to understand and embrace the different dimensions of diversity present in any environment. The model visually represents diversity as a wheel divided into various segments, each reflecting important aspects of an individual’s identity. These segments are generally categorized into internal dimensions, external dimensions, and organizational dimensions. Internal dimensions are the core characteristics that strongly influence a person's identity and are usually unchangeable, such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, and physical ability. External dimensions refer to elements that individuals can change or control, like education, income, religion, marital status, and appearance. Finally, organizational dimensions relate to structures within the workplace or community context, such as job function, seniority, and union affiliation. Loden’s Wheel is especially helpful in understanding how these multiple aspects interconnect and shape diverse experiences and perspectives. This understanding promotes inclusion by encouraging respect and appreciation for differences, helping organizations and individuals create more equitable environments where everyone can thrive.
