Inclusion in Action: How 3 Global Companies Create Belonging on Dispersed Teams
Discover strategies for creating inclusive workplaces in dispersed teams. Insights from DEI leaders at multinational companies.
It’s no secret that inclusive workplaces are better for employees and the bottom line. However, cultivating a culture-centric organization takes thought and planning, and when you lead a dispersed team, the challenges of creating inclusive work spaces are magnified.
When companies have offices in different geographic locations, it’s easy to become siloed, with each office focusing more on local concerns rather than the company as a whole. Fully remote employees can feel excluded, overlooked, and left out of important decisions. And when colleagues are in different countries, obstacles like inadequate technology, different time zones, varied languages, and unfamiliar cultural norms get in the way. How can champions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ensure everyone – whether they work in person, remote, or hybrid – feels seen and included?
We spoke with DEI leaders at three multinational companies to discover what practices they’ve used to promote belonging for their geographically dispersed, culturally diverse teams.
