Tag: Inclusion
is the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure. Organisations increasingly seek to have inclusive cultures. An inclusive culture is an organisational environment that allows people with different backgrounds, characteristics, and ways of thinking to work effectively together and to perform to their highest potential. In an inclusive culture, people feel that their contribution is valued, and their voice is listened to and respected. Diversity, which is often focused on increasing the numerical representation of minorities in the workforce, is distinguished from inclusion, which is about creating an environment that values the different contributions that a diverse workforce can bring. It is possible to have a diverse workforce, without being inclusive.

Data-driven Corporate Health Management
The rising cost of health care is showing no signs of slowing down. To tackle head-on the underlying health issues of the workforce and the associated rising claim costs to the employer, it is necessary to transform health and well-being management into a rigorous data-driven strategy.

Creating an Inclusive Culture
Progress towards diversity has not always met the promise of investments made. One of the underlying reasons for this is that organisations have focused on increasing the number of employees from underrepresented groups, rather than addressing the organisation culture that determines whether people feel included, and thrive. This research report explores what an inclusivity and an inclusive culture looks like, and sets out practical recommendations for improvement. It focuses on two key aspects that shape the culture: the values and attitudes of leaders, and the systems and processes that define how organisation operates. CRF members can access the report freely by logging in on the website.
