Summary

Diversity and inclusion are crucial elements of a successful tech company, with diverse leadership and teams tend to out-innovate and out-perform others. Creating an inclusive culture is different from creating a diverse workplace and requires strong leadership that understands the importance of recognizing, promoting, and fairly compensating individuals from all backgrounds. Leaders must also actively control against bias, which can have an invisible but measurable impact on organizations, and create transparency in day-to-day employee interactions to build trust and promote collaboration. Inclusive global teams require a willingness to listen to team members, value individual perspectives, and deploy anti-bias technologies and policies. Ultimately, building an inclusive culture is an effort that involves everyone, and every contributor must make others feel valued and treat colleagues with respect.
