Everyone seems to be talking about equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging, but where these conversations happen and where action is taking place do not often go hand in with the talking. It can be quite a daunting topic, one that can seem quite exclusive if focused on one small aspect of difference, which is the opposite of what it’s all about. On another hand it can be seen as the remit of HR functions but there is one consistent truth in all the grey, and that is to truly drive diversity, inclusion and belonging in organisations it must first be understood, led and driven from the highest levels of the organisation. Creating an inclusive culture where difference is embraced, valued and accepted will be a key skill for leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow
Why CEOs?
From a corporate governance perspective, it is a company’s Board responsibility for establishing a healthy organisational culture. It is the Chair and CEO who embed inclusion in their strategic agendas and give the green light for their business leaders to prioritise inclusion. BUT… it is the CEO who has the accountability in the organisation to deliver the results.
It can be a challenge
It is now top of mind for CEOs and we have great pockets of excellence, but truly making it work can be evasive for many, not knowing what questions to ask or actions to take at board level can be dauting and lead to inaction, taking accountability and getting fully immersed into what is required can seem like hard work and connecting on a common theme to drive better business outcomes in respect of inclusion even harder still…until now…
We know that this area has grown significantly over the years shifting from a tick box set of initiatives, to a core component of strategic planning, a key capability of leading a business and as key enabler to drive growth and maintain competitive advantage.
Inclusive CEOs is here to bridge the knowing and doing gap in aiding CEOs and indeed board chairs to creating a culture where all can fulfil their ambitions and truly thrive.
