Inclusion in the workplace - A guide for HR and D&I professionals
Creating a workplace culture that makes everyone feel welcomed, accepted, understood and celebrated matters.
What is an inclusive workplace?
Inclusion in the workplace is about creating a working environment that makes every employee feel valued. It’s about creating spaces where we can acknowledge differences and celebrate how these differences contribute to the culture and business outcomes.
Celebrating diversity and its role in the organisational fabric is at the core of an inclusive workplace. Organisations with an inclusive culture don’t pretend that everyone enjoys an equal footing or a level playing field. Instead, they acknowledge differences and systemic differentiation. They take the responsibility to offer equal opportunities to everyone.
