Three Critical Levers to Creating an Inclusive Culture
The time is now for transformational change and a recommitment to the advancement of underrepresented groups in the workforce.
Organizations in the United States spend $8 billion on diversity and inclusion training each year. And yet, the intended results simply aren’t there: 45% of US workers report experiencing discrimination in the past year, and 75% of employees in underrepresented groups do not feel they have personally benefited from their company’s DE&I programs.
While inclusion initiatives such as forming Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and unconscious bias training may be an important first step to improve inclusion across the organization, Linkage’s most recent research finds these activities are far from sufficient.
Just as our broader society is beginning to understand the substantial systemic changes that need to happen to improve inclusion, organizations are also realizing that to be truly inclusive, organizational cultures and systems need to change. Despite prioritizing initiatives to improve inclusion, most leaders do not believe they have a clear roadmap for how to make their organizations more inclusive.
In this session, you will:
- Determine the biggest areas of opportunity in your organization around creating an inclusive culture and inclusive leaders
- Understand the three attributes to a more inclusive culture and practices that you can apply to impact employee perception of inclusion that will lead to improvement on critical business drivers like financial results, decision-making, innovation and employee net promoter score
- Learn the five hallmark behaviors of inclusive leadership that are inextricably linked to effective, purposeful leadership
