"Building an inclusive culture starts with intentional actions." Hire with Diversity in Mind: I seek out candidates from different walks of life and encourage them to apply for jobs so that various perspectives and experiences will be present. Create Open Communication Channels: I do allow feedback where team members can share ideas with ease; this belongs in the process of building an inclusive culture.

Inclusive Training: Regular workshops on inclusion are important to raise awareness and build an environment of respect through collaboration.

The first question to ask is, "Do I want my company to be a high-performing organization that delivers real value to customers, or simply to be diverse?” 1. A company's culture is a reflection of the leader's values. If you value people, hire people who value people. 2. You cannot legislate (force) diversity and inclusion into anything and expect high performance levels. 3. By focusing on values, drive, and capabilities in the hiring process, you develop a high performing, culturally diverse team.

Kommunikation, Wertsch?tzung & Offenheit sind die Schlüssel für eine Organisationskultur, in der Vielfalt gesch?tzt & gef?rdert wird. Hilfreich kann es sein, mit folgenden Fragen zu starten: Welche Gemeinsamkeiten & welche Unterschiede gibt es im Team? Welche Bedürfnisse gibt es & werden diese schon erfüllt? Für welche Werte steht das Unternehmen & kennt bzw. teilt das Team diese? Eine Mitarbeitendenbefragung kann Aufschluss über die eine oder andere Frage geben. Mit externer Unterstützung werden dann auch direkt Ans?tze hieraus abgeleitet.
