Inclusive Leadership:
The Power of Workplace Diversity

Every organization must utilize diversity and inclusion for it to be viable and successful. Its progress will be fueled by individuals who are made to feel completely at home, respected, valued, and included by their coworkers and their organizations. Put simply, inclusion works.

The inclusive leader creates a work environment where everyone is treated fairly and with respect, has equal access to opportunities and resources, and can fully contribute to the success of the organization.

Training can have a substantial positive influence, especially when it focuses on awareness and skill development and takes place over a long period of time, as has been shown by more than 30 years of research.
