Inclusivity is important to all kinds of employees: A Deloitte survey found that 80 percent of the workers they surveyed wanted to work at an inclusive company, and Harvard Business Review has found that firms that practice diversity are 45% likelier to report growth in market, and are 70% more likely to capture a new market.
But what do inclusivity practices really mean? How can HR implement them in a workplace? Let’s take a closer look at the ins and outs of inclusivity, how to foster it, and how to deal with challenges that may arise on the way.
What is Inclusivity?Inclusivity refers to a group setting – in this case, a workplace – where individuals with varying experiences, backgrounds, and identities are all equally welcomed. Team members feel welcomed in the group, and valued for their contributions. Other members of the group trust team members regardless of backgrounds or identities. Employees feel empowered and recognized.
