Workplace inclusivity starts with leaders – what leaders say and do makes up to a 70% difference as to whether an individual reports feeling included. This really matters because the more people feel included, the more they speak up, go the extra mile, and collaborate — all of which ultimately lifts organizational performance. In this interactive training, participants will learn to lead so that every voice is heard. They will gain insight and skills for engaging employees in creating a safe and collaborative work environment in order to leverage diversity and inclusion as a competitive advantage. Learn the language and tactics of inclusive communication. Foster an environment of mutual respect. Realize the benefits of diversity by making every person you work with feel included. Make inclusivity a good business, as well as a good human, decision.
