I think inclusive workplaces are necessary for positive morale. Many personality traits NEED the diversity and personal connections with others in or order to be effective professionally. I myself do not but I know of many people who do. To me an inclusive workplace is one that employs people from all walks of life and shows that they value the person. It provides opportunities for their employees to come together on a personal level as well as professional.

Inclusion

an environment that understands and accepts different age group and gender differences

an environment that actively assesses workforces talents and assists people in working at the top of their skill set

zero tolerance for misbehavior

Inclusive means an environment where I see myself – my ethnicity, my gender, and my values represented throughout the organization alongside those that differ from me.

An inclusive workplace is one that values individuals and their differences. It embraces diversity…a variety of ethnicities, orientations, backgrounds, and perspectives.

When I think of inclusive workplaces, here are my top five characteristics:

Minority representation

Workplace culture that celebrates everyone on any occasion

Unbiased opinions based on race, gender, sexual orientations

Allowance of opinions and input from every team member (even if it’s about management) There has to be safe places for people to vent because that’s when you find solutions.

An inclusive workplace to me is:

a workplace that has diverse employees from different racial backgrounds, cultural backgrounds,

with a representation of both genders across all levels in the company, and technical backgrounds with

an atmosphere in the office of celebrating and respecting everyone’s differences and similarities.

I also feel like it’s more inclusive when people are willing to openly discuss diversity.

None of the companies that I have worked for have been inclusive .Characteristics of an inclusive workplace would be a place where my ideas are taken serious not to mention my concerns. Diversity is considered when hiring. I shouldn’t be seen as a threat to someone in a hire position which at times can hinder not only my growth but the companies. Pay should be based on skill and experience.

Many personality traits NEED the diversity and personal connections with others in order to be effective professionally. I, myself do not but I know of many people who do. To me an inclusive workplace is one that employs people from all walks of life and shows that they value the person. It provides opportunities for their employees to come together on a personal level as well as professionally. My take on inclusive workplace is it is a good model which would work for a startup or small to medium company. When trying to establish this type of environment in a more established company would cause possible friction and push back. Even if tried in a small department such as marketing, it wouldn’t trickle down to the rest of the company.

For me it’s being deliberate with the hiring to ensure that diverse groups are represented – ethnic groups, age, religions, sexual orientations, etc. If you are hiring and every person that comes in looks exactly alike then it’s not inclusive or diverse. Once the employees are there you truly value their input and seek to understand how decisions and practices impact them. The higher ups are empathetic and seek to understand.

That’s a lengthy response, unfortunately, I don’t have time to give one. However a brief summary would be, that all employees feel valued whether there’s something else going on behind the scenes is another thing but as long as all employees feel valued, all employees are given equal access to opportunities whether it be promotions, training etc. One that is representative of what I feel is our country overall which is a melting pot. gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Diversity is Paramount and it’s visible – not wording in a mission statement to satisfy societal expectations.

A place that promotes community, zero tolerance of all of the “isms”, has benefits for domestic partnerships, likely has a diversity team/committee, recognizes certain months like women, black history, native americans. Doesn’t have a restrictive dress code such that wearing head dress and/or afrons would be an issue. The signage in the office would have inclusive terms/symbols…etc. I noticed my office started to replace a lot of the posters to show minorities.

Equal Pay

This is hokey, but paid hours where employees get to know the people they work side by side, with every day but have no clue who they are, what they struggle with, what personal things they bring to work that make them perform well or distract.

Inclusion

Like the concept of multi-generational households, some sense of involving multi-experiential backgrounds. Recent hires out of college may not have the experience of the veteran employees, but have other benefits of youth to contribute. The entire spectrum needs to be validated.
