The Inclusive Leader (PowerPoint PPTX)

Modern organizations recognize that to be leaders in their industry, they need a workforce that represents the society in which it exists. But while many companies are putting their best efforts into recruiting a more diverse workforce, it's the experience created for employees that will ultimately drive their success. To keep employees from all backgrounds engaged, leveraging their skill sets, and sharing their ideas, there must be a sense of belonging for all.

And this sheds light on a greater truth: there is no end point to fostering inclusion; there will always be more to do, and more to learn.
