Want Real Inclusion at Work? This Is Where to Start #shorts

If we apply what the Harvard research tells us about the power of questions, the diversity conversation could look like this. Start with the context regarding your question, such as, I read in a blog this morning about diversity, or I know we're doing more to communicate our diversity strategies and I was speaking with my client about an issue they have. I noticed that there were no other women in that meeting yesterday. Next, move to an open ended question frame to avoid simple yes or no responses. Make it simple, sincere, and direct, such as how do you think we're doing at creating a diverse and inclusive workplace? In your experience, what makes this a good or bad place to work for women? It's important that you ask these questions of everyone, men and women alike.
