Improve assessment of what makes a project inclusive
Henry Ford said "Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success".
Here are some criteria to consider in order to measure the inclusiveness of your project.
- Listening. Can employees express themselves freely? Are they listened to?
- The working environment. Is the working environment adapted to all? Is it conducive to discussion?
- Problem solving. Are conflicts and problems within the team resolved quickly? It should be noted that sharing feelings helps to better understand the other person and thus solve problems as soon as possible.
- Flexibility. Is your company open to flexible working arrangements such as teleworking, staggered working hours, etc. when the job allows?
- Activities. Does your company offer team-building activities to increase motivation and a sense of belonging?
In order for your team to develop and come up with innovative ideas, it is important to rely on diversity of experience, skills, education and thought. In short, inclusiveness within a project is an essential ingredient in the growth of a company.
