Why inclusion is not only right, but also valuable
Diversity needs Inclusion
In a world that is increasingly networked and diverse, the topic of diversity and inclusion is gaining in importance.
The world of work and working conditions are changing at a rapid pace. This is being triggered by technological developments such as digitalization, demographic change, and global economic and political developments.
Why Diversity Matters
Diversity is more than a political agenda - it is a key to innovation and success.
But it can also be a challenge, as different backgrounds and perspectives can lead to communication barriers and conflict. Without inclusion, this diversity can lead to low productivity and efficiency if employees do not feel supported or valued. Diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences not only enrich teams, but also encourage creative approaches and improve decision-making. Bringing together different ideas and ways of thinking creates innovative products and services that meet the needs of diverse stakeholders.
Inclusion as a Foundation for Success
Diversity alone is not enough - inclusion is critical to ensuring that employees can be authentic in their work environment, feel they belong and are treated fairly.
This in turn leads to higher performance from all employees, as they are able and willing to contribute their skills and needs.
An inclusive culture promotes employee engagement, loyalty and job satisfaction. Creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and accepted is the foundation for innovation, creativity, and sustainable success. Other benefits of an inclusive culture include
