In the fight against discrimination, companies are increasingly taking measures to create accepting cultures and foster diversity. It turns out that what is good for the human soul is good for the business, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money and location\nhave traditionally been the top reasons for people to change jobs. However, company culture has recently emerged<\/a> as an\numbrella term for all the other factors they consider or realize they should\nhave considered when signing a new work contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a part of that\ncompany culture, recent years have seen a rise in the awareness of being\ninclusive. When the working community values individual and group diversity and\nacts accordingly, it fulfils the criteria of an inclusive workplace. Sharing\ninformation equally, presenting equal opportunities and assigning similar\nresponsibilities to everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or disability,\nare the most prominent examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why is it\nimportant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an employee, the\nnumber one reason is human nature. They are predominantly hired for their\nprofessional capabilities, yet every employee has both the need to be accepted\nas a human being and to feel they belong in their (working) community. In\npractice, this includes being invited to lunch or birthday parties, having\nsupport during family emergencies, or merely experiencing no hidden rules of behaviour.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a company, the inclusive nature of the workplace is a case for increased engagement and productivity. If workers feel accepted, they will be engaged in the company goals and want to give back. An engaged employee is also a productive employee: one survey finds businesses that care about engagement are 17% more productive than the others. Research from Deloitte states that inclusive workplaces are “twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets. Not to mention employee turnover.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if job candidates\ncould know about the level of inclusivity in a workplace before they walk in on\ntheir first day? Well, they actually can. Now, with the availability of\nemployer-rating sites such as Glassdoor, they can check reviews by former or\ncurrent employees. They can also find out whether a company has made any top\nlists for inclusivity. It is also increasingly common to ask related questions\nat an interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2019 Diversity and\nInclusion study of Glassdoor, however, found that half of the employees in the\nUS, UK, France, and Germany think there\u2019s still not enough inclusion in their\nworkplaces. So here is your to-do list as an employer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
