Improving inclusion in the workplace

In a virtual setting, it can be harder to make time for this to happen.

Leaders can accelerate this by giving people time and space to talk about non-work things.

Encourage colleagues to reach out to each other and create purposeful events, start a coffee morning, a book or Netflix club or a regular pub quiz.

This will allow people to connect on another level, which creates cohesion and higher-performing teams.
