5 actions to boost workplace inclusion

As the conversation and sentiments around initiatives to foster more equitable workplaces evolve quickly, and alarming news stories drop on a regular basis, many HR and inclusion practitioners are eager for support picking out what’s relevant and true — and what’s not — so they can steer their organizations through these tumultuous times. Many are reaching out to Catalyst as a leading voice on gender equity and culture change initiatives in the workplace. 

At Catalyst, we see our global Supporter organizations as a unique source of insights, ideas, and collaboration on the most pressing workplace inclusion issues. Our recent conversations with thought leaders and decision makers, including from our Expert Community of highly engaged Supporters, provide direction for organizations looking for values- and strategy-aligned peers who are faced with the constantly changing landscape surrounding these issues.  

Through these conversations we know that many news reports asserting that organizations are scaling back their work on creating more inclusive workplaces are misleading at best. Our Supporting organizations remain committed to strengthening initiatives that enable everyone to thrive at work.

What else have we learned from our Supporter organizations that we can share with you? We recommend the following five actions.
