How to be more inclusive in the workplace

Each and every one of us has a role in DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). As individuals, we’re the ones who can choose to embrace diversity, take an equitable approach and include others. That means you too – you are that someone who has the power to make others feel that they belong.  Do you?  Think for a moment what you’ve done recently to ensure others feel that they belong. 

Diversity is essential in today’s workplace, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because different people from different backgrounds encourages greater innovation, creativity, and happier employees.  This is through the sharing and consideration of varying ideas and perspectives, and for this to really bloom, people need to feel like they belong, can speak up and are listened to.   

It is not always easy to know the right things to do or say to ensure others feel that they belong. However by thinking about how we express our own values and inclusive behaviours we can help others show their inclusive selves in the workplace.
