Safety Labs by Safety Products Global How To Enhance Safety Inclusion
In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Dr. Liz Wilson, a behavioral scientist, organizational transformation expert, podcast host, and founder of Include Inc - a consultancy focused on improving workplace inclusion.
Safety professionals are naturally inclusive in their pursuit of creating safety for everyone, but exclusion can unintentionally occur even when we're doing our best to include. Dr. Liz has extensively researched inclusion and shares her practical findings to help make inclusivity part of workplace safety.
After defining inclusion and highlighting the serious risks of ignoring this fundamental organizational approach, Dr. Liz gives an overview of 'The 8-Inclusion Needs of all People' framework she's developed.
She explains why Access, Space, Opportunity, Representation, Allowance, Language, Respect, and Support are all crucial elements to ensure co-workers are included and gives real-life examples of how they impact the workplace.
Furthermore, Dr. Liz demonstrates why The 8 Needs provides a practical approach for HSE professionals to improve inclusion and workplace safety.
Dr. Liz's authentic, honest, and pragmatic outlook shine throughout this engaging and powerful podcast - which every safety practitioner needs to include in their essential listening list.
