        abstract = {In an increasingly globalized business environment, diversity and inclusion (D&I) have emerged as critical strategic priorities for multinational corporations. This study examines the diversity and inclusion practices adopted by global firms and evaluates their impact on organizational performance and employee engagement. Using a mixed-method research design, primary data were collected through structured questionnaires from employees working in multinational organizations, complemented by secondary data from corporate sustainability reports and published literature. The findings indicate that inclusive leadership, equitable human resource policies, and cross-cultural training significantly enhance employee satisfaction, innovation, and organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, firms that integrate diversity and inclusion into their corporate strategy demonstrate improved decision-making capabilities and stronger competitive advantage in international markets. Despite these benefits, challenges such as cultural resistance and implementation gaps persist across regions. The study contributes to existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the strategic role of diversity and inclusion in global firms and offers practical insights for managers seeking to foster inclusive workplace cultures. The results underscore the need for continuous commitment to diversity and inclusion as a driver of sustainable organizational success.},
