Overview

Inclusive leaders have key characteristics which truly set them apart from other leaders. Inclusive leadership is about adapting our personal behaviours and using one’s leadership privilege to take steps to break down the barriers facing people who are at risk of exclusion in the workplace. Developing an inclusive workplace culture through effective leadership not only produces a happier and healthier workforce but will also avoid groupthink and drive success through diversity of thought and representation.

What you say and do matters. Leaders who understand and speak to the benefits of diversity and inclusion and role modelling inclusive leadership in their everyday work, will enable companies to accelerate their diversity and inclusion efforts where all are accepted for who they are and the value they bring.

Whether you are a senior leader, a manager, an HR assistant or simply want to lead the change that you want to see, this practical workshop is designed to help you to think and act inclusively. Inclusive leadership skills will make you a better leader and drive strategic success and productivity in your organisation.
