An Inclusion-First Culture: 3 Tips to Foster Belonging

A workplace where diversity is valued is the tip of the iceberg when creating an environment that fosters inclusivity. The two terms often are used interchangeably, but where diversity ends, inclusion picks up.

Diversity in the workplace is when different backgrounds, lifestyles, beliefs, and values are represented–and that’s a great start. However, imagine if those people do not feel like they belong or are included in their workplace? That is where inclusivity comes into play.

If your culture is not already one that fosters inclusion, or perhaps it is not at the level you want it to be, don’t panic. Most organizations are tackling this, as well, so you are in good company.
