Being more inclusive every day (Tips)

• APPRECIATE: Try to let people know they are doing great work.
• LISTEN: Show respect when someone is talking. Actively listen to those that are speaking without injecting. Non-verbally acknowledge what is being said.
• PAUSE: Take the time to really think about others’ opinions and ideas before you respond. Often, we formulate our response before the person has finished speaking.
• COLLABORATE: Work with someone new. It could even be someone in a different function or department. New perspectives could provide fresh ideas.
• AWARENESS: Think about personal biases. How are they playing out and impacting your decisions?
• CONNECT: Have lunch or take a break with someone new.
