6 Tips For An Inclusive Organizational Culture

Organizational Culture Framework | Spencer Stuart

A passionate and rich discussion followed about the proactive steps that can be taken to ensure organizations build cultures with positive values and attributes, including:

  • Invite the right people to meetings – diversity of people leads to diversity of ideas
  • Solicit everyone’s opinion. During meetings, ask each person to share their thoughts, concerns, or ideas on the topic
  • Give credit where it’s due
  • Be a role model of the behavior you want to see in others.
  • Adopt a “will not tolerate” strategy when it comes to disrespectful behavior in the workplace.
  • Act quickly to alleviate behaviors that can lead to a culture of hyper-competitiveness or disrespect.

No matter how much negativity or chaos is swirling around you, remain calm – and be a role model of compassion and respect towards others. Lisa Quast

Super easy, quick, and a great way to use squash. An instant hit at my house and a great way to warm your bones. The bell peppers add a nice, bright contrast to the creamy butternut squash, and I threw some roasted garlic in there because that’s flavor at its best.

Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash roasted and peeled
  • 1 Bell pepper (I used red,  you can use yellow and orange – avoid green…
