Inclusive company culture attracts better and more diverse talent and, when people feel like they belong, they're more likely to stick around for the long term. There is no cookie-cutter solution for building inclusive company culture, but having a clear understanding of company culture's elements and tactics is necessary to achieve a great work environment. We'll explore practical ways to influence company culture, including behavioral norms, communication skills, and handling conflict.

Understanding how we think and perceive the world is an essential first step in creating sustainable change.
