What is an inclusive workplace?

Someone asked me today what makes an inclusive workplace.  Here are some of my thoughts. It is a workplace where:

• where leaders are aware of themselves and their strengths
• where leader look to be surround by others with different strengths
• where leaders understand that they WILL have subconscious biases and how to manage them
• where leaders are transparent and honest and ensure that all their people have opportunity to grow
• where leaders are the role models for the behaviours they want in their organisation
• and people feel valued regardless of their style, gender, background or disability
