| Strategy | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Communicate inclusively | Be open Use inclusive language | To be open, share all appropriate information; recognize and accept differences, change, and new ways of doing things; and respond honestly. To use inclusive language, call people by their preferred names, avoid stereotypes, and avoid using metaphors that may exclude someone. |
| Consider individual needs | Implement policies without favoritism Learn about and support employees' professional aspirations | To implement policies without favoritism, be fair and recognize people's individual differences. Take an interest in employees' careers, and create opportunities for talented team members to interact with company leaders. |
| Delegate fairly | Don't always delegate to the same people Identify tasks to develop employees' skills | To develop all team members – and not just the ones you know will do good work because you've delegated to them before – you need to identify projects, tasks, and responsibilities that can build their skills. Then be specific about what you expect and what the end result should be. |
| Evaluate objectively | Check your assumptions about employees Give employees clear job descriptions and goals | Monitor, observe, assess, and evaluate each employee's performance on a regular basis. Don't base judgments about an employee's work on stereotypes about age, gender, or ethnicity. Provide job descriptions that include the criteria for measurement used in performance evaluations. |
