Diversity & Inclusion

An inclusive workplace ensures everyone feels seen, heard, and valued

In the modern workplace, being aware of diversity, inclusion, and belonging issues is crucial for creating a culture and workforce representative of the customers and communities a business serves. Critical outcomes of a comprehensive DEI program include:

A diverse workforce with fair and equitable access to opportunities and resources
An environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, supported, and safe
A workplace culture where people from all backgrounds can bring their whole selves to work
A sense of belonging where everyone is accepted and acknowledged as a member of their team and the organisation

Leaders build a more inclusive workplace one interaction at a time

Leadership plays a critical role in shaping an organisation's culture. Effective leaders understand the importance of creating an environment that values diversity, inclusion, and belonging and takes a proactive approach to model inclusive behaviours within the organisation and with all stakeholders. Blanchard’s DEI programmes give leaders the ability to:

Be accountable

Leaders learn how to hold themselves accountable by examining and addressing their biases. They know how to be open to feedback and make changes when necessary.

Lead by example

Leaders’ actions and behaviours create workplace norms that significantly impact culture. Inclusive leaders create and sustain a culture that values diversity and inclusion by setting clear expectations and leading by example.

Promote belonging

Inclusive leaders foster a sense of community, value individual differences, and intentionally create opportunities for employees to connect and collaborate.
