The management of diversity and inclusion has evolved from a focus on compliance to a strategic-level effort with a demonstrated positive impact on an organization’s performance. In the current business climate, we strive for both diversity and inclusion, achieving intended business results, which provide the proof that diversity and inclusion are much more than a legal or moral requirement; they are also a competitive advantage. Diversity, inclusion and presenting targeted and high-involvement diversity practices examines diversity in the contexts of teams, leaders, framing diversity in terms of current business and cultural challenges. Our employees/volunteers and contactors identify sources of inclusion, and align inclusion to improve engagement, business results, and determine methods to assess the effectiveness of inclusion initiatives. Fostering an Inclusive Climate – Inclusion is a relational construct. It is ultimately about how our team functions and performs based on the quality of social connections, oneness, and openness to learning, agility, and depth of decision making. The team examines the concept of climate, specifically inclusive climates, as well as learning about the specific behaviors and skills they need to demonstrate to be successful in shaping an inclusive climate.
