As our workplaces become more diverse and open, it is vital individuals have the skills to understand, respect and work with others despite differences. The ability to include others who might have different ways of perceiving the world not only improves interactions at work but makes a company’s products and services more inclusive and successful.
Furthermore, when employees (whoever they are) feel included, they feel a sense of belonging that drives performance and collaboration. By supporting and promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, you will be giving your company a competitive edge at every level.
