It\u2019s most definitely a good thing, and something that we at Clear Books highly value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong businesses are built around the idea that a company excels with a diverse team who possess unique experiences, strengths, and assets. We know that when team members feel valued for who they are \u2014 both as employees and as people \u2014 they experience higher satisfaction at work and are more likely to stay with your company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a true win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody (we hope!) sets out to create a non-inclusive workplace. Yet inclusive, functional teams are no accident. When you\u2019re at the phase of levelling up your business \u2014&nbsp;perhaps expanding your staff or into new markets \u2014 it\u2019s the perfect time to take stock.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How will you intentionally cultivate a workplace where diversity and inclusion are at the core of your business culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find out why inclusive workplaces are better for business \u2014 and where to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diverse workplace, inclusive workplace \u2014 what\u2019s the difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The words \u2018diverse\u2019 and \u2018inclusive\u2019 frequently get tossed around together, so let\u2019s start with some definitions. Here\u2019s how they\u2019re different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A commitment to diversity is when employers actively seek out employees who are of different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building an inclusive workplace is what comes next, and it\u2019s a critical step that\u2019s often overlooked. An inclusive workplace is an environment where all members of your team are willing to share their perspectives \u2014 especially ones that may be different or divergent from your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A team can\u2019t be a monoculture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re operating&nbsp; inside a vacuum of hive-minded conformists, you\u2019ll likely end up with a single perspective. If you\u2019re seeking a team that generates ideas, builds unique strategies, and improves business outcomes, a diverse team is your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to <em>retain<\/em> that diverse, strong team you\u2019ve created, a culture of inclusion is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start from the top \u2014 the inclusive workplace starts with you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inclusive work environments may start organically, in pockets or departments, but most likely you\u2019ll set the tone at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with examining your own biases. And bias doesn\u2019t have to be a dirty word \u2014 we all have them. The trouble is, biases are often invisible or unconscious, based on those quick judgments we may not even realise we\u2019ve made, or judgments that conform to stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s tricky is learning how to identify your own biases and judgments. You\u2019ll need some help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask team members for their feedback and perspectives when you\u2019re developing new products, considering new markets, or considering making changes to how your business operates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re considering a later start to your staff\u2019s workday. You\u2019re thinking of the convenience of avoiding the busiest commuting times \u2014 and it would be much easier to get your children off to school without such a rush. When you solicit input from your team, you learn that someone has a second job that would conflict with a later start, and another person attends religious services. On a small team, this type of feedback might impact your decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to seek input at every turn \u2014 at meaningful moments, however, it demonstrates your commitment to inclusion and, as a bonus, builds trust in you as a leader who wants to make the best decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fostering an inclusive culture with mentorship.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever been the new employee who hangs their coat on the wrong hook? The hook that everyone else knows is always used by one (very) particular co-worker? That\u2019s usually <em>not <\/em>the type of orientation a new hire is likely to receive \u2014 but certainly is useful information that will help ease their transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019ve been inside your workplace for a while, it\u2019s easy to become accustomed to the quirks of your workplace culture and operations. Like bias, these quirks are hard to see after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of expecting your new employee to figure out these workplace subtleties on their own, help them out by pairing them up with a mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mentorship program establishes an inclusive culture from the get-go. A mentor brings your new employee up to speed on the things that aren\u2019t included in your SOP manual, taking orientation a step beyond the training they\u2019ll need to perform their job. It shows your new employee that you want them to succeed with their team, in addition to their job responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to identify the right mentor \u2014 frequently this is someone who really knows the ropes of your business but it doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be a senior member of the team. Your ideal mentor is collaborative, keen to share their knowledge, and focused on helping your new employee find success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentors can also help their mentee to identify growth areas \u2014 since not everyone feels confident making sales calls, justifying expense reports, or learning new software. A mentor doesn\u2019t hold the mentee\u2019s hand through every step (because they have their own job to do), but provides resources or support as needed. If a new hire wants to enhance their knowledge of accounting, for example, a mentor could point their mentee towards Clear Books\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free library of resources<\/a> \u2014 videos, podcasts, and white papers \u2014 in addition to our <a href=\"https:\/\/support.clearbooks.co.uk\/support\/home#_ga=2.132324364.323547718.1657818200-598572711.1656703504\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help guides and online tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentoring is a winning strategy for your business because you\u2019ll be more likely to retain new employees when they feel included from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We\u2019ve got you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Clear Books, inclusion is the way we do business.
