Don’t pick Favourites (Inclusivity)

One of the employees broke her leg, but that doesn’t mean she can’t still partake in group activities. Just adapt the strategy to account for her reduced mobility.

If an employee got a sex change, the activities they used to partake in may seem unsuitable now. Talk to them and get their view on if they want to continue as things were before or if they may want to make changes to make it possible for them to still do those same activities.

An open-minded person can always come up with a solution that will be ideal for everyone. Even if the solution doesn’t encompass everyone, tweaks and allowances can be introduced to make it work for everyone regardless of mobility, gender, race, religion and any other possible limiting factors.

A little bit of thought about how others may do things differently goes a long way. It makes the difference between full participation and people getting left out.

Nobody wants to be left out, even if they say it’s okay.

Don’t make someone the ugly duckling.
