How do we make others feel included?

Today, we explore some tactical aspects of safety coaching and how we help people feel included in multinational environments. In other words, how do we increase Inclusion Safety?

First and foremost, inclusion is a basic human need and right, regardless of race, colour or creed. We should not have to ask for permission to be included, yet we often do.

As humans, we long to belong, and in that connecting process, we exchange emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual values. Inclusion isn't something we earn; it's something we're owed. We are hyper-social creatures who need each other.

Much of what we do is bridging cultures for safety. Not only helping people understand that we are not being difficult, just different, and creating a sense of wonder in wanting to learn more about each other.

So how do you meet the needs of all to feel inclusion safety on an oil rig? With a dozen or so more different cultures and hundreds of individuals needing to work together to produce a safe and efficient outcome.

Most often, it starts with a conversation and the consideration of others.

The toilet conversation...

During our conversation, we discussed a situation where a toilet is modified to cater for different cultural norms. Helping people to feel included at a basic level. It does not always have to be difficult just requires a little engineering. See show notes for the image.
