Why Do We Want an Inclusive Environment?

Who is Included? Everyone! AgeDisabilityReligion Marital Status RaceVeteran Gender Sexual Orientation Dietary Habits

Components of an Inclusive Environment Individuals are treated with dignity and respect Valued for their similarities and differences A conscious effort must be made to respect and listen to everyone Each person is an essential part of the organization

What Does in Inclusive Environment Mean to You?

What Makes You Feel Included When you are invited to participate in meetings? When coworkers involve you in their activities? When employees understand your personal interests, religion, and beliefs? When personal matters such as health concerns or child concerns are acknowledged? Strong positive communication

How To Create an Inclusive Environment (Employees) Get involved with extracurricular activities Be friendly and remember how important manners can be Leave something visual or interesting on your desk Listen to what others have to say before expressing your viewpoint Never speak over, butt in, or cut off another person Consider others viewpoints Choose topics, venues, events where everyone will feel included Sign up to lead something in the office Educate but never put down! Smile!

How To Create and Inclusive Environment (Managers) Be culturally aware and actively listen Separate people from stereotypes See cultural differences as assets Focusing on attracting the best talent, not on other factors Partner newer employees with those who have been around for a while

Offer benefits and perks accessible to all Possibility of using a sign language interpreter Become a learner Ask diplomatic appropriate questions Train supervisors on coaching strategies to encourage the development of their employee Create events that foster conversation Cultural Potluck Dinner How To Create and Inclusive Environment (Managers)

Tolerance Vs. Acceptance TOLERANCEACCEPTANCE Separateness and ignoranceCelebrates differences Two sides endure each others presence Fosters understanding and togetherness Misunderstanding as to why people are the way they are There are no boundaries, just different ways of approaching the same problem

Inclusion Outside of the Workplace Explore the world –Try different cuisines, other forms of entertainment, different cultures Invite colleagues to dinner, concerts, movies Set up events where everyone is invited Embrace others despite their differences Look for ways to learn from others Don’t be afraid to branch out!

Everyday Situations What are you doing for the Christmas? What are your kids doing for the summer? When picking a restaurant for a business lunch, what restaurant should you pick?

Case Studies Abercrombie & Fitch –Paid $50 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of race discrimination IBM –Pioneered the concept of inclusion in the workplace Starbucks –Diversity = Inclusion + Equity + Accessibility
