Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a core focus of Progressive, and they have most recently won Forbes' 2022 Best Employer for Diversity award, so a question related to this topic is very possible. In your response, demonstrate that you understand the meaning of each (DE&I) aspect and speak honestly about what it means to you on a personal and professional level. If you have received corporate or more formal training in this area, be sure to speak about that experience and how it's impacted you.

"A diverse team comprises individuals of different genders, ethnicities, educations, backgrounds, and experiences. Equity means that everyone on that team is treated fairly and given equal opportunities in the workplace. Inclusion means that everyone is welcome and should feel safe to express their concerns and ideas. DE&I is important to me because everyone should feel a sense of belonging at work. More creative and innovative ideas are born when people from different backgrounds and experiences come together."

DEI is important not just for the office but for the world to be a better place. It is important that we encourage diversity, strive for equity in all areas of life, and include all to put an end to “isms” and “phobias.”
