We’ve all had an experience of feeling excluded at some point in our lives. Not feeling like we are welcomed, feeling like an outsider, or like we have to change ourselves to fit it in. No-one wants to feel like this.
Inclusive Employers define inclusion as: “…the culture in which the mix of people can come to work, feel comfortable and confident to be themselves, work in a way that suits them and delivers your business needs. Inclusion will ensure that everyone feels valued and importantly, adds value.”
An inclusive culture is good for us and our colleagues, good for the performance of our organisation, and is therefore good for our Service Users and the communities we serve. So being an inclusive organisation isn’t a ‘nice to have’ – it’s an essential foundation for everyone to be engaged, effective and productive at work.
