5 Strategies to Promote Inclusion: A Manager’s Playbook (Tool)

Leaders are faced every day with choices that can either contribute to an inclusive atmosphere where employees are able to thrive—or an exclusive atmosphere where they can’t.

This tool is for team leaders, as well as anyone who manages a project or cross-functional group. In it, we break down what inclusion at work looks like and show you exactly how you can take steps to help all your employees feel included.

Along the way, you’ll have the chance to reflect on when you’ve felt included and excluded at work and if you think your team members are experiencing inclusion—and commit to specific actions related to your individual direct reports.

Topics covered in this tool:

• The elements of inclusion.
• Your experiences of inclusion and exclusion.
• Your perceptions of your team’s experiences of inclusion and exclusion.
• Strategies and tactics for increasing inclusion on your team.
• Your personalized action plan.
