Exclusion in the workplace

The world is changing quite rapidly, with unprecedented economic, demographic, social, and legislative trends leading to increased diversity in both our communities and our workplaces. This increased diversity is fertile ground for heightened collaboration and inclusion on one hand, and intergroup conflict and exclusion on the other (Mor Barak & Travis, 2013).

Sexism in the workplace

What would an diversity and inclusion leader do about the issues of sexism?

Sexism or sexual harassment is defined as discrimination or abusive behavior toward an individual that is based on gender and that violates the victim's dignity, or behavior that creates an intimidating and hostile environment for the victim. Sexism is defined not by the perpetrator's intention but by the impact of that person's behavior upon the victim.

How do you eradicate issues like sexism and racism in the workplace and organizations despite their being laws against this type of treatment?

Sexual harassment

The first step in dealing with sexism in the workplace is to take preventative measures in an attempt to ensure that serious incidents do not occur. Maintaining a focus on ways in which your organization can prevent sexism will not only have a preventative effect but will also ensure that you are fully prepared to deal with an incident should it occur. Be proactive and make it your responsibility as a manager to generate an anti-harassment culture.

In order to ensure that you are fully aware of what is and is not acceptable and how you can deal with sexism in the workplace you should familiarize yourself with your company's harassment policy and grievance management procedure.

Sexual harassment/anti-harassment

Communicate the company policy to your employees and ensure that it is always visible and accessible.

Be certain that they have a good understanding of the policy.

Why train on this topic?

What if you get a complaint? Follow company policy, Know what are the complainant's wishes and expectations about the outcome? Has it happened before

The business case

Fostering inclusion from the inside out

Requires fixing the inside then moving to the outside. It works when you are valuing your employees who can then value their community.

Fostering inclusion from inside out Mor Barak, 2011

Understanding your surrounding community and the reciprocity embedded in the relationship.

An exclusionary workplace has minimal to no connection to its community.

Typical connections to community include: volunteer work, corporate philanthropy, corporate social responsibility, corporate inclusion strategy

Involves treating the community like a stakeholder

Respecting the community’s right to self-determination in identifying inclusive projects.

Involving employees who are local residents to work with the community.

Why does community involvement matter?
