Acceptance in the Workplace
|
|
I recently listened to a TED talk by Patty McCord an HR Professional who discussed that if we went to work with the assumption that everyone comes to work to do an amazing job – you would be surprised at what you get. What McCord is saying is that if we treat everyone and believe that they are there to do their best, then we can expect amazing things.
Diversity includes:
mental and physical disabilities, religious and belief differences, ethnic and cultural differences, gender equality and,
generation gaps.
It has been reported that companies that practice diversity and inclusion in the workplace outperform other non-diverse companies by 15%. The long-term success of any business calls for the diverse body of talent that can bring fresh ideas, perspectives and, views to their work.
Some rewards we can expect with acceptance include:
•
More open communication.
•
Better team decision making.
•
More creative workplace.
•
Greater respect and trust.
Read the blog for a full listing of the rewards.
