But once a company has built a diverse team, the work doesn\u2019t end here; there\u2019s a lot more that needs to be done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inclusivity <\/strong>is the next step to <strong>support a diverse workforce<\/strong>. It\u2019s key to ensuring that every employee feels welcomed, accepted, and valued at work.<\/p>\n<p>Although lots of progress has been made to create more inclusive workplaces, there\u2019s still room for improvement. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnlight.com\/en\/articles\/learnlight-research-reveals-one-in-four-employees-has-experienced-workplace-discrimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey conducted by EdTech platform Learnlight<\/a> found that one in four (25%) UK employees aren\u2019t certain that their workplace is inclusive, with 18% saying it definitely isn\u2019t and 7% being unsure.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we break down what it means to have an inclusive workplace, who benefits from a diverse, inclusive workplace, and our advice on creating an accepting work environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_meaning_of_an_inclusive_workplace\"><\/span><strong>What\u2019s the meaning of an inclusive workplace?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Workplace inclusion is when people feel valued, recognised, and able to be their true selves at a company. Regardless of background, circumstances, or viewpoints, an inclusive workplace allows all employees to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>In order to build an inclusive workplace culture, you need commitment from everyone \u2013 from your founder(s), C-suite, and team leaders, to the whole of the wider team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_an_inclusive_workplace\"><\/span><strong>What are the benefits of an inclusive workplace?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An inclusive work environment establishes a sense of belonging and value among employees. When people feel more valued, they are more engaged, they work better, are more creative, and crucially, are far more likely to stay at your company.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/content\/dam\/Deloitte\/us\/Documents\/about-deloitte\/us-about-deloitte-unleashing-power-of-inclusion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deloitte study<\/a>, 80% of people say inclusion is important when choosing an employer, and 39% said they would leave their current organisation for a more inclusive one.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to start your inclusivity initiatives, read some of our strategies for creating an inclusive workplace. It&#8217;s worth bearing in mind that these are just some ideas; think about what&#8217;s going to be most impactful for you and your team.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23316 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Building-Inclusive-Workplace.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Building-Inclusive-Workplace.png 1024w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Building-Inclusive-Workplace-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Building-Inclusive-Workplace-768x375.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_strategies_for_creating_an_inclusive_workplace\"><\/span>5 strategies for creating an inclusive workplace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Get_buy-in_from_everyone\"><\/span>1. Get buy-in from everyone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A truly inclusive workplace needs buy-in from everyone in your team \u2013 starting from the top. Creating and encouraging a sense of belonging has to begin at leadership level, and it will be much easier to prioritise inclusivity if your most senior team members have it at the top of their priority list, too.<\/p>\n<p>Once leadership are all on board, they\u2019ll be the best resources to get the ball rolling!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Give_every_employee_a_voice\"><\/span>2. Give every employee a voice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A universal approach to inclusivity doesn\u2019t work \u2013 you need to involve and empower employees from different backgrounds, especially if your leadership and people teams aren\u2019t very diverse. Get as many additional perspectives as possible from the wider team. These differences of opinion will be your most helpful resource to create a safe and inclusive workplace for all employees to thrive. If you don\u2019t involve the wider team, you risk undermining the whole point of your inclusivity initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Why not try building a team to work on diversity &amp; inclusion initiatives? At Work.Life, we have a dedicated \u2018Culture Club\u2019, made up of team members from all departments and levels, who give up their time to work on maintaining and improving our company culture; covering topics such as wellbeing, events, giving back, and D&amp;I.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Integrate_inclusivity_into_your_company_values\"><\/span>3. Integrate inclusivity into your company values<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about building an inclusive workplace, and inclusivity isn\u2019t already one of your core values, it should be! Having this as part of your values will make it clear to everyone &#8211; including current and perspective employees, potential new business, and your board &#8211; that you are a fully inclusive employer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll also ensure your team know that it\u2019s a priority for the business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Create_safe_spaces\"><\/span>4. Create safe spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Inclusivity is about making sure every employee feels accepted \u2013 and there may be physical changes you want to make to your workplace as a result, such as gender-neutral bathrooms, private rooms for new mothers, and prayer spaces (something we&#8217;re looking at introducing at Work.Life spaces). Outside of the physical workspace, encouraging employees to add their pronouns to their email signatures, or making sure that events are inclusive to all team members, are just a couple of ideas to create safe spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Again, giving your team a voice is invaluable. At Work.Life, we run regular feedback surveys pre-and-post team socials, to ensure they&#8217;re always inclusive. If you\u2019re not listening to your team, you won\u2019t be investing your time and resource in the right areas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Celebrate_your_employees_differences\"><\/span>5. Celebrate your employee\u2019s differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Understanding and celebrating employee\u2019s differences is key to creating a truly inclusive workplace. Some ideas for celebrating diversity include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating a shared calendar where employees can add traditions or holidays relevant to them<\/li>\n<li>Celebrating religious holidays or commemorative months such as Pride or Black History Month across the whole team<\/li>\n<li>Starting conversations to help employees understand each other\u2019s differences and bring the team closer together<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring introverts feel comfortable, with initiatives like providing written, or anonymous feedback, instead of verbal<\/li>\n<li>Giving your team the option to take religious holidays off. In addition to Christmas, recognise all the other religious holidays that may represent the beliefs of members of your team, such as Rosh Hashanah, Eid, Diwali and Ramadan. Can you allow employees to exchange a bank holiday for one of these religious holidays?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nBuilding an inclusive workplace is all about ensuring that your team are comfortable being their whole selves at work, and able to thrive as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Building inclusive workplaces is what we\u2019re all about at Work.Life \u2013 we\u2019re proud to have built a positive, accepting environment for not just our team, but our wider community of 6,000+ members too.<\/p>\n<p>Come and see it for yourself &#8211; <strong><a href=\"http:worklife2023.cskills.me\/book-a-tour\/\">book a tour<\/a> <\/strong>of one of our great <strong><a href=\"http:worklife2023.cskills.me\/locations\">locations<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a no-brainer that diversity makes for a stronger, more creative, and more innovative workforce.
