Thank you for taking the time to learn about the 5 THINGS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES DO TO CREATE A BETTER WORKPLACE. This article is a precursor to a book I am about to publish, by the same title and it is based on hundreds of hours of interviews, informal conversations and hands on experience in organisations across all industry sectors, primarily in Australia. Now, in saying that, I know that I am not the first person to conduct research into what makes a great workplace, and I am sure that I am not the first person to conclude that running a highly successful business is all about making our people feel safe, having them know they will always be treated fairly and with respect and ensuring they have a strong sense of belonging. In other words, it is all about ‘INCLUSION’.
What do I mean by INCLUSION
When I talk about ‘INCLUSION’, it is all about a belief that everyone has the right to feel safe and to be treated fairly and with respect. It goes beyond our legal requirements for safety, fair work and privacy and into the realms of engagement. Personally, I think the next BIG competitive advantage in business is going to be driven by INCLUSION, well at least that is what my studies suggest!
