Recommendation

Companies with diverse, inclusive workplaces perform better. Their employees are more engaged and more productive. Workplace expert Alissa Carpenter explains how to improve your firm’s inclusivity. Her practical, applicable advice on handling challenging conversations, turning differences into strengths and overcoming bias is relevant to any manager. While some points may seem obvious – such as seeking opportunities to interact with your colleagues in person – they are also poignant reminders about the value of personal connection and perhaps about the potential of the hybrid in-and-out of the office model.

Summary

    I work at a multinational company where I encounter a diverse environment all in one place. Employees of different nationalities, customs, cultures, ages, and views must find common language. Mutual respect is key to communication, and what unites us first and foremost is work. I have to learn how to communicate, listen, and be heard.
