Examples of inclusion in the following topics:
-
The Inclusive Workplace

- Enabling an inclusive culture is highly advantageous in capturing the value of diversity.
- The primary threats to an inclusive culture are groupthink, discrimination, stereotyping, and defensiveness.
- Creating an inclusive culture means not only stating support for it via various corporate-wide outlets, but also working towards an ideal level of open and inclusive behavior.

Economic Importance of Small Businesses
- Managers can help guide diversity and inclusion in organizations, from hiring practices to communication and career development practices.
- A manager can help guide these differences to the benefit of innovation and inclusion in the organization.
- Human Resources (HR) is often tasked with managing many aspects of diversity in organizations, including the attraction, selection, training, assessment, and reward of employees, but project managers and other managers with whom employees directly work or to whom they directly report can also guide inclusion practices.
- The process of inclusion engages each individual and makes people feeling important to the success of the organization.
- Diversity training is training for the purpose of increasing participants' cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills, which is based on the assumption that the training will benefit an organization by protecting against civil rights violations, increasing the inclusion of different identity groups, and promoting better teamwork.

Managing Organizational Diversity
