Building inclusive teams

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. This is now becoming even harder to achieve with the increasingly globalised workforce and remote working arrangements.

Organisations that build inclusive and diverse teams enjoy higher employee satisfaction and loyalty, and are able to attract a larger pool of talent. 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. When people feel a sense of belonging, it drives intrinsic motivation and purpose. It creates a safe environment where people can bring their whole selves to work, do their best work, and feel connected.

Leaders who build inclusive teams are able to have meaningful connections with those that they lead, inspire and motivate, and unlock team performance. Leadership comes with many responsibilities, and building an inclusive team is one of them.

Join us on this workshop and take your leadership skills to the next level. We will address some of the most difficult challenges that all leaders face throughout their careers, including issues that prohibit team productivity, understanding stereotypes, unconscious biases, and planning for difficult communications. A focus on inclusion is now a necessity for optimal business performance.

Workshop structure

Why you 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.
