Building inclusive teams (private workshop)

Unlock team performance

Diverse and inclusive teams increase financial performance, value creation, and innovation. The most successful products are built by inclusive and engaged teams that are able to integrate a diverse set of voices and ideas throughout a company. Organisations that build inclusive and diverse teams enjoy higher employee satisfaction and loyalty, and are able to attract a larger pool of talent. A culture of diversity and inclusion increases psychological safety and trust amongst leaders and teams. When people feel a sense of belonging, it drives intrinsic motivation and purpose. A safe environment allows people to bring their whole selves to work, do their best work, and feel connected. In addition, a diverse team is more empathetic and accommodating to a larger group of possible clients and their needs, as a result adding more value to their customers.

This workshop is designed to help organisations address the challenges that inhibit team productivity and performance. It will teach the leaders of your organisation how to care for themselves and their teams. They will be equipped with the tools and best practices to cultivate a healthy and inclusive culture that allow people and teams to flourish. Because when they do, so will the company they work for. A focus on inclusion is now a necessity for optimal business performance.

Workshop structure

why your company should do this workshop

• Increased profitability. There is statistically significant relationship between a more diverse team and better financial performance.
• Larger talent pool. Organisations that embrace diversity hiring benefit from a larger talent pool, people they reach, and people they attract.
• Competitive advantage. Diverse companies are better able to win top talent, and improve their customer orientation, employee satisfaction, and decision making.
• Better performance. Diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones, especially when solving complex problems.
• Increased work satisfaction and loyalty. In inclusive teams, job satisfaction and loyalty increases as people feel truly appreciated. In a supportive environment, people are more productive, and are inclined to stay in their role longer.
• Enhanced innovative and creative thinking. The combination of different backgrounds and experiences tends to inspire fresh ideas that are accessible to more. A diverse team is more empathetic and accommodating to a larger group of possible clients and their needs.

Without a variety of voices contributing ideas, the workplace becomes a homogenized environment where potential brilliance may never be achieved. Diversity should rightly be seen as a benefit to growth, not an obstruction to avoid.
