"When I feel included I can focus my energy on doing my job and not worry about having to fit in". This is such a telling statement and one that goes to the heart of genuine inclusion.
Workplace culture norms dictate whether we exclude, tolerate, accept or embrace people who are different from the dominant or typical employee profile. Increasing diversity is often an aspiration however often attempted in isolation of the workforce culture. Diverse individuals may exist on the periphery (our first image) or as is often the case found only in pockets of the organisation (second image). Maybe its time for a deeper look.
