Diversity And Inclusion - Employee
Related Categories
Creating an inclusive environment in the workplace can be a challenge. Employees sometimes clash and don?t work together as well as they should, even when they come from the same background. Add differences to the mix and this friction can get even worse, damaging teamwork and hurting the productivity of the group as a whole.
Fortunately, there are specific skills that can help us smooth workplace interactions and resolve issues that might come up, whether they involve ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities or anything else that makes people feel different.
Employees learn how to:
Overcome resistance
Welcome newcomers
Make small gestures of support and acceptance
Meet in the middle
Look for opportunities to connect
