Simón helps companies and organizations create an inclusive culture that makes people grow in a common direction.

AN INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE
How can you develop an organizational culture that welcomes Everyone?
Diversity and inclusion are important factors in creating a sustainable and innovative workplace. A study from Harvard shows that teams with high diversity have 19% higher innovative ability compared to homogeneous teams. Another study from McKinsey shows that companies with high gender and ethnic diversity have 15% higher profitability. This means that diversity is not just something to manage – rather, it is a tool that can be used to create positive effects throughout the organization.
An inclusive culture means that everyone feels welcome and that their unique perspectives are taken into account. This can lead to increased motivation, commitment and productivity among employees. Not working actively with inclusion and diversity risks uneven representation and a culture of silence where employees hold back, avoid challenges, do not contribute ideas and do not speak up when something is wrong.
The lecture deals with topics such as:
- What is inclusion and why is it important in times of change and uncertainty?
- How do we create a culture where everyone feels welcome and seen?
- How do we quickly strengthen inclusion through self-leadership?
- What is the responsibility of leaders vs employees and what can I do based on my role to contribute to an inclusive culture?
- Concrete tools and approaches to increase diversity and inclusion in the team and the entire culture.
Diversity as a source of strength
How to harness the benefits of diversity for increased efficiency?
Diversity is a source of power to increase the effectiveness of an organization. When different perspectives, experiences and skills are combined, a richer and more innovative environment is created. An inclusive culture where everyone feels welcome and respected is essential to harnessing the potential of diversity.
Research shows that diverse teams perform better than homogeneous teams. This is because such teams are more creative, have higher quality decisions and are better at dealing with complex problems. In addition, diversity can contribute to an increased opportunity for relationship building and thereby reach out to more target groups.
To reap the benefits of diversity, it is important to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels welcome and respected. Leaders should be aware of their own biases and work actively to counter discrimination. It is also important to promote a culture where different perspectives and ideas are encouraged and listened to.
Another important factor is to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities for development and career. This can be done by promoting diversity in recruitment and by creating development opportunities for all employees.
The lecture deals with topics such as:
- What is diversity and why is it important for increased efficiency?
- What are cultural differences and how can we take them into account in the workplace?
- How can one manage and turn contradictions into opportunities in an inclusive culture?
- What is the responsibility of leaders vs employees and what can I do based on my role to contribute to an inclusive culture?
- Concrete tools to increase inclusion and diversity within and between teams.
