The Element of Inclusion

The Reality of How Employee Resource Groups Can Create An Inclusive Culture


Listen Later

Today, I want to talk about cultural change and inclusion.
Find out why changing organisational culture is one of the 3 biggest problems that organisations experience when they try to become more inclusive.
Here are some key messages from this episode:

* Why common ideas about cultural change are limited in their approach
* The elegant yet simple model to help you think about the culture where you work
* The role employee resource groups can help to change the culture of your organisation

Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Knee Jerk Reactions
“The simple truth is that several of these organisations rush into knee jerk initiatives without truly considering the long-term implications”
Senior Leaders are important but also Middle Managers Matter
“The problem is what gets described as the frozen middle. The people in the middle are blocking change why? Because they are responsible for day-to-day hiring and firing, they influence recruitment, retention and promotion in organisations.”
Employee Resource Groups as Agents of Change
“By introducing employee resource groups you show that employees can recognise more of their identities within the workplace and that your organisation wants to recognise that in the workplace because inclusion is important and necessary within the workplace”
Here are some resources so you can go deeper:
