As an employer, you must create an inclusive, diverse, and respectful environment where employees feel safe. An environment where they can communicate issues without fear of retaliation or that they will be heard and action will be taken. Here are five simple ways companies can achieve this:
- Recruit, develop and advance the right talent with the right capabilities
- Consider the overall diversity of thought, experience and perspectives that define each of us as unique individuals
- Ensure that equal opportunity is provided to all individuals within the organization in accordance with the Title VII/EEO laws
- Communicate any issues of concern in a genuinely sincere, honest and considerate manner
- Provide opportunities for all individuals to actively contribute their creative ideas and opinions for the betterment of the organization
