Towards systemic inclusion

What do we mean by inclusive cultures at work? And why are they so important?

An inclusive culture is one in which people and teams understand and adapt effectively to their social and cultural differences. These points of difference could stem from any aspect of workplace EDI, including protected characteristics, as well as other factors like class or educational background. In this sense, an inclusive culture captures a spirit of equity and belonging beyond what’s instantly apparent.

Inclusive leaders and managers display high levels of cultural adaptability and are experts in cross-cultural communication. They’re able to successfully address unconscious bias, defuse challenging behaviours, and demonstrate resilience in the face of organisational change. And they’re 3.5 times more likely to get the full potential out of the people who work for them.
