Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
Lead the change you want to see
The evidence is clear. Diversity and inclusion are critical for a healthy society, economy and workplace. But this can only be achieved by removing invisible barriers, changing mindsets and creating a workplace where all can belong.
We are in a moment where real change is possible. Circumstances have transformed how many of us work and live, and in the process, have broken down many existing structures. As a result, we now have the opportunity to rebuild systems and practices to create thriving, diverse workplaces.
Developed through extensive research, collaboration and personal experiences, the Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Canvas includes detailed, open questions to draw out insights and start the conversation. Use the Canvas with your team to identify ways to nurture diversity, inclusion and belonging, whether in person or online.
Companies are most successful when they embrace diversity in gender, race, perspective and personalities. Businesses that go from an all-male or all-female leadership team to an even mix of gender could see an increase in revenue of around 41%, according to a study co-authored by an MIT researcher.
Another study showed that after studying 1,700 companies, those who had a diverse team had 19% higher revenue than those who didn’t. Having a healthy mix of leaders has been proven to lead to more creative ideas, more efficient problem-solving and better financial achievements.

“The program structure (2 sessions per week over a month with activities) worked for me. Very much so. With the duration being over four weeks you had enough time to go over the content after each session and think about it in context with your role and what changes you could apply to make a difference.”
