Inclusion is a feeling of belonging.
An inclusive workplace exists when employees are valued, respected, accepted, and encouraged to fully participate in their organization. People who feel included perform better and have fewer accidents, creating a more productive and safer workplace for everybody.
How does Culture of CARE create an inclusive workplace?
Culture of CARE (Commit, Attract, Retain, Empower) lays the foundation for what is and is not acceptable behavior on a jobsite. It is up to each of us to acknowledge that everyone on site adds value, deserves respect, and has an opportunity to contribute to the work.
Creating a Culture of CARE helps everyone feel more comfortable and confident speaking up, sharing new ideas, and working to stop harassment, hazing, bullying, threats, and intimidation.
The Relationship between Culture & DEI
- Reports show that boosting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts to create a more diverse workforce helps employers build a dynamic relationship with employees.
- A strong DEI presence creates a culture where employees feel empowered to be authentic and bring new ideas based on their unique knowledge and experiences.
- Diversity allows workers from underrepresented communities to connect with their peers and feel celebrated.
- The more companies create a sense of belonging for all employees, the more they will want to work hard and give back to that organization.
