Proximal Learning has delivered ILP sessions to leadership teams across various organizations since 2018. These sessions help leaders understand what inclusive work environments look like and the human and performance benefits of embedding ILP work practices.
Inclusion in the workplace is crucial for several reasons:
1. Enhanced Innovation and Creativity: When employees from diverse backgrounds feel included, they are more likely to share unique perspectives and ideas, leading to greater innovation and creativity
2. Improved Decision-Making: Inclusive workplaces benefit from a variety of viewpoints, which can lead to better decision-making. Research shows that diverse and inclusive teams are 87% more likely to make better decisions1.
3. Higher Employee Engagement and Satisfaction: Employees who feel included are more engaged and satisfied with their jobs. This can lead to higher productivity and lower turnover rates
4. Attraction and Retention of Talent: Companies that prioritize inclusion are more attractive to top talent. They are also better at retaining employees, reducing the costs associated with high turnover
5. Better Customer and Client Relationships: An inclusive workforce can better understand and meet the needs of a diverse customer base, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty
6. Regulatory and Ethical Considerations: Inclusion helps companies comply with legal requirements and demonstrates a commitment to ethical practices
