Workplace Inclusion when cultivated right is a sure way to foster positive culture, and team cohesion. People’s differences are valued and supported, and barriers are removed that would prevent any person from reaching their full potential in the workplace.

True inclusion celebrates all factors of diversity in talents, age, abilities, genders, sexualities, or religious belief. It enables every employee to perform at their best in a safe, supportive environment.

“It is well established that Inclusive culture at work promotes a sense of belonging amongst staff. Happy workers increase productivity which benefits the business.”

You know your team is the lifeblood of your business, yet you find it difficult to treat or invest in your greatest assets.

But, why?

The answer to this question is not rhetorical. It is also not so easily answered. But I will provide an approach (at the end of this article) to help you understand why business leaders still struggle to maintain a culture of Inclusion that support Everyone.

There’s nothing so disastrous for a company when good employees see you tolerate bad workers!!

Workplace Inclusion is about creating environments that support each employee to feel a sense of belonging, irrespective of who they are or their position within your organisation.

When leaders decide to cultivate workplace Inclusion, it ensures their people are treated like people all the time, resulting in enhancement in staff attitudes and pride towards their work.

With people born between 1981 and 1996 (the Millennials) are said to be the most educated young professionals in the world with greater awareness of fairness, equality, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

This group of people are eager to make an impact on the world in a positive way.

They also expect their employers to do the same.

But many employers are not aware of the significant impact that Millennials are having in the world, in business or society at large.

In its literal sense, White privilege is the unearned advantages and entitlements afforded to a dominant group, so for example in Australia, this is White people of European decent.

A sociologist scholar, Peggy McIntosh’s “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” identifies the daily effects of privileges that she has as a White woman.

To have White privilege does not make you a racist. You have these privileges because you’re simply born White.

Societal systems, laws, policies created to govern a country like Australia, are often enacted by the dominant group, white Europeans, therefore, can skewed towards benefiting that group more than anyone else.

A political system as complex as racism, yet as a society we’ve reduced racism to personal views on what’s right and wrong, and who said what? We’ve left racism to be explained in the hands of the everyday person whilst simultaneously the system continues to oppress.

For years we’ve settled for racism to be talked about, debated, and commented on by anyone and everyone. But why is that?

• Why do we ask people with no specialisation on the topic of race to guide communities in Anti-racism strategies?

• Why do we continue to have those with no specialisation in racism to chair national discussions?

Do you know much about the 21st of March and what it signifies? What about why is it commemorated around the world? Well, if you live in Australia, you will know this day as Harmony Day. Because it is how we, Australians mark the day and celebrate it with a burst of orange colour. Australia calls anti-racism work as cross-cultural competencies. Why is Australia tone-deaf when it comes to racism?

All leaders must take a critical look at reports on their Policy & Culture to understand, fully, what’s going on within their organisation including “what’s said” & “what’s not being reported”.

When leaders made a conscious decision to cultivate “culture of Inclusion” at work, they encourage belonging and allow people to be seen, included, and considered.

Bias training in Australian organisations is usually carried out by people with no experience of personal marginalisation and does nothing to overcome broader structural inequalities.

Being white in Australia comes with certain advantages, but being aware of the problems faced by other groups can help build a more harmonious & inclusive society.

The continued marginalisation of people of colour in the workplace can only be eliminated by tackling race-based discrimination across the whole of society.
