Leading inclusion activities at work can be difficult.
Here are tips that will help you navigate inclusion activities for your workforce:
Start by learning what shaped your team. From employees’ backgrounds and interests to unique traits, honest and vulnerable conversations are a great start to increasing understanding among teams.
Find out how workers feel about different inclusion activities. You can survey an inclusion activity and see which areas workers are more comfortable sharing.
Ensure the company leads in inclusion activities. Despite the number of diversity and inclusion observations in the company, your workforce will not feel included if the company is not taking key measures to promote diversity.
Do not be afraid to call out bias and confront stereotypes
Teach teams to be empathetic with each other.
Successful diversity and inclusion activities will promote workers’ reliance on their peers and create a safe working environment for all employees.
