Workplace inclusion is a top priority for HR.

A plethora of research has pointed towards both the individual and business benefits of fostering an inclusive company culture.

Research conducted by BetterUp found that a high feeling of belonging among employees was linked to a 56% rise in job performance, as well as a 50% drop in turnover risk and a 27% reduction in sick days – Harvard Business Review reported.
