What is an inclusive culture?

Make Culture Your Superpower with our Walking The Talk Methodology
By Mairi Doyle
Inclusion is rightly a hot topic for organisations looking to change their culture and improve performance. Many companies understand the importance of inclusion, and the business value it delivers. But what do we mean by an inclusive culture?
An inclusive culture is one in which every colleague feels a sense of belonging and connection. People are valued for who they are, their unique contribution and the difference they make, and they can fully be themselves at work. They are not just listened to, but seen, heard, and their views acted upon. Organisations who have failed to build inclusive cultures often do the listening, but don’t follow through with actions – or as we say, they do not walk their talk!
