Inclusion means helping people participate, contribute, and belong at work. It complements diversity, which values varied backgrounds and perspectives, and equity, which supports equal compensation for equal skill and experience. section 7.5.3
Leaders strengthen inclusion by:
- Supporting employee groups for communities including working mothers, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ employees, and employees of color. section 7.5.3
- Using flexibility, accommodation, and empathy to help create psychological safety. section 7.5.3
- Treating inclusion as continuous improvement and daily culture-building rather than a policy or one-time program. section 7.5.3
Allyship program
An allyship program can combine working groups, open discussions, inclusion videos, and mandatory training. These activities build awareness, openness, empathy, and stronger organizational bonds. section 7.5.3
