\u2018Inspire inclusion\u2019 is the theme of 2024\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day campaign. But how do we inspire<\/em> inclusion? For a business, inclusion is a tangible benefit. From the boardroom to the most recent hire, it\u2019s something we should encourage, promote and curate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspiring the next generation of leaders<\/h2>\n

To really inspire inclusivity, we need to ensure we have an executive board that represents our employees. Companies need to nurture, develop and promote inclusive working environments in order to succeed. We\u2019ve discussed before<\/a> how diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) benefits business performance and innovation, but what about individual performance of our employees?<\/p>\n

Qualtrics\u2019 2021 Employee Experience Trends Report<\/a> examined how a key driver for belonging at work came from the top. Leaders play an influential role in championing people and positively impacting culture.<\/p>\n

Diverse, inclusive leadership empowers employees of all levels that they can bring their authentic self to work. We see a similar image in media: if people don\u2019t see representation, they don\u2019t feel part of the conversation.<\/p>\n

We need to consider our responsibility as leaders too \u2013 we\u2019re responsible, directly or indirectly, for the future of a business and the next generation of leaders.<\/p>\n

Inspiring diversity, equity and inclusion<\/h2>\n

Which brings us onto the next point: how do we communicate diversity, equity and inclusion to our business?<\/p>\n

Simply being an inclusive leader isn\u2019t enough. Korn Ferry<\/a> found that 40% of the competencies and traits that define inclusive leadership are the same as those which define self-disruptive leaders. Therefore, we need to take our inclusive leadership and apply it across the business to promote open discussions of equitable opportunities, learning and development.<\/p>\n

Inclusive leadership is giving our employees the opportunity to empower themselves. It\u2019s about allowing people to bring their whole selves to work, without judgement or discrimination, but with active encouragement<\/a>. It\u2019s also about flexibility and harnessing the EQ of our people.<\/p>\n

When leaders offer this support, we can see the results in commercial performance.<\/p>\n

Inspiring innovative thinking<\/h2>\n

Research<\/a> shows when people are engaged in their work, a company is more likely to achieve its goals. What\u2019s more, inspiring inclusive leadership can foster a culture of innovation.<\/p>\n

A report by Deloitte<\/a> splits the benefits of inclusive leadership into four business categories: diversity of markets, diversity of customers, diversity of ideas and diversity of talent. All four of these areas will see great change within the next decade as we adjust to rapid technological advancements and changes in how we work.<\/p>\n

Supporting innovation through diversity now puts businesses ahead of this inevitable change. In Gartner\u2019s recent HR report<\/a>, they described inclusion as a competitive necessary. If inclusive leadership is the driver of future success, then we need to nurture it across the whole business now, so we can accurately measure success and examine areas we need to improve.<\/p>\n

Inclusion is inspiring<\/h2>\n

Business leaders have a social responsibility to be inclusive and promote inclusivity. It\u2019s also important for leaders to accept what and how they need to improve. Change is inevitable and oftentimes inspires innovation. Our leadership and approach to business should reflect and embrace change so we can succeed together and empower the people we represent.<\/p>\n
