1 Respect diversity

Diversity is not only about visible differences, but also about invisible ones, such as values, beliefs, perspectives, and experiences. Respect diversity by acknowledging and appreciating the unique contributions of each team member, and by avoiding stereotypes, assumptions, and biases. Learn about the different backgrounds and preferences of your colleagues, and adapt your communication and behavior accordingly.

Do not tolerate snide remarks. Train employees and leaders to recognize and address microaggressions when they occur. Create a culture where such behaviors are called out and corrected constructively. Develop and communicate clear policies against discrimination, harassment, and bullying. Make it known that any such behavior will not be tolerated and will be dealt with seriously.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is also about power dynamics. Caution is needed while forming a team as well, it should not end up inclusion of men and women from powerful groups of society. Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone. True diversity requires a deeper understanding of each person in a team. Respect diversity in workplace is also to ensure that every employee is given the room to thrive.

2 Communicate effectively

Effective communication is essential for building trust, understanding, and rapport among team members. Communicate effectively by listening actively, asking open-ended questions, giving constructive feedback, and expressing appreciation. Use clear, respectful, and inclusive language, and avoid jargon, slang, or offensive terms. Be mindful of your tone, body language, and non-verbal cues, and adjust them to suit the context and the audience.

3 Encourage participation

Participation is key for fostering a sense of belonging, engagement, and empowerment among team members. Encourage participation by inviting and valuing everyone's input, ideas, and opinions, and by creating opportunities for collaboration and co-creation. Provide a safe and supportive space for people to share their thoughts and feelings, and to voice their concerns and challenges. Recognize and celebrate the achievements and efforts of each team member, and highlight their strengths and talents.

One of the easiest ways to promote inclusion is through participation. This can readily be accomplished by activities such as Ice Breakers such as discussing a favorite hobby. Once individuals feel comfortable opening up the group can gain a sense of how each member operates and what they value. This understanding promotes a solid team environment.

Create opportunities for employees to engage with each other outside of the office. Encourage participation by offering a fun door prize (ie. parking spot) for those who attend. When employees have opportunities to socialize, play games, compete, or work together, oftentimes they build meaningful connections that may not happen otherwise. Examples of activities are limitless but may include bowling, softball, a picnic, sporting event, community service, a game night, etc. Problem solving and communication may become easier since they know each other better. Employees that connect with their coworkers often share laughter and stories as well. Some companies refer to these types of activities as a “team building” events for good reason.

4 Promote learning

Learning is vital for enhancing the skills, knowledge, and confidence of team members, as well as for fostering innovation and growth. Promote learning by creating a culture of curiosity, openness, and feedback, and by providing access to relevant resources, tools, and opportunities. Encourage team members to learn from each other, as well as from external sources, and to share their insights and best practices. Support team members to pursue their professional and personal goals, and to overcome their learning barriers.

5 Address conflicts

Conflicts are inevitable in any work environment, especially in diverse teams. However, conflicts can also be opportunities for learning, improvement, and resolution. Address conflicts by adopting a constructive and respectful approach, and by focusing on the issues, not the personalities. Seek to understand the different perspectives and interests of the parties involved, and to find common ground and mutual benefits. Use effective negotiation and mediation skills, and seek external help if needed.

1. In work space conflicts do arise when employee resist change processes based on a lack of knowledge, familiarity, skills. One of the ways to resolve, is by providing the knowledge and resources people need. 2. While focusing the issue not the personality alternate options created in negotiation to solve the issue provides space to chose the best option among the negotiated options. 3. To avoid or minimize the work conflicts defining and documenting roles and responsibilities is crucial. Knowing exactly who is responsible, who is accountable, who needs to be consulted, and who must be kept informed at every step reduces conflicts and improves the chances of team success.

6 Model the behavior

The most powerful way to make your work environment more inclusive and supportive is to model the behavior that you want to see in others. Be a role model by demonstrating respect, communication, participation, learning, and conflict resolution skills in your daily interactions. Lead by example, and inspire others to follow your lead. Be authentic, transparent, and accountable, and show that you care about your team members as individuals and as professionals.
