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.

To identify your co-workers’ or team members’ strengths, observe how they approach certain tasks. Minor behaviors can reveal strengths: The co-worker who insists on clear deadlines and always makes careful lists could help a team stay on track thanks to his or her organizational skills.

Psychometric or other analytical tests may provide further guidance and a shared language. Commonly used methodologies include CliftonStrengths...
